Despite the increasing amount of research investigating health interventions that applies to interactive computer technology, the effect sizes in Cohen's obtained across these studies range from -0.32 to 1.74. The lack of systematic review of interactive health interventions leaves their overall effectiveness unknown. To address this, a meta-analysis of 67 studies examining the effects of web-based interactive health interventions was conducted. Results indicated that web-based interactive health interventions were effective in general, but the effects were moderated by health topic, theoretical framework, and design of treatment and control groups. The unique advantage of interactivity was small but significant when comparing to health interventions with comparable information in non-interactive version. Theoretical and practical implications of findings were discussed.
尽管越来越多的研究调查了应用于互动计算机技术的健康干预措施，但在 Cohen's 中获得的这些研究的效应大小范围从-0.32 到 1.74。由于缺乏对互动健康干预措施的系统评价，其整体效果尚不清楚。为了解决这个问题，对 67 项研究进行了荟萃分析，这些研究考察了基于网络的互动健康干预措施的效果。结果表明，基于网络的互动健康干预措施总体上是有效的，但效果受到健康主题、理论框架以及治疗组和对照组的设计的调节。与非互动版本具有可比信息的健康干预措施相比，互动的独特优势虽然很小，但却具有重要意义。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。
