The Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS) is an interactive computer system containing information, social support and problem solving tools. It was developed with intensive input from potential users through needs-assessment surveys and field testing. CHESS had previously been used by women in the middle and upper socio-economic classes with high school and college education. This article reports on the results of a pilot study involving eight African-American women with breast cancer from impoverished neighborhoods in the city of Chicago. CHESS was very well received, extensively used and produced feelings of acceptance, motivation, understanding and relief.
综合健康强化支持系统（CHESS）是一个包含信息、社会支持和问题解决工具的交互式计算机系统。它是在潜在用户通过需求评估调查和实地测试提供大量投入的情况下开发的。CHESS此前曾被社会经济中上层、受过高中和大学教育的女性使用。本文报告了一项试点研究的结果，该研究涉及来自芝加哥市贫困社区的八名患有乳腺癌的非裔美国女性。CHESS受到了非常好的欢迎，得到了广泛使用，并产生了被接纳、有动力、理解和宽慰的感觉。
