基于网络的行为干预研究正在迅速发展。我们回顾了基于网络的干预研究中共享的方法学问题,以帮助为该领域的未来研究提供信息。我们使用范例研究和我们的研究来检查措施及其解释。我们报告了用于评估基于网络的干预措施的研究设计,并推荐了更新的混合设计。我们回顾和批评与招聘,参与和社会效度相关的方法论问题。我们认为,从行为改变研究的更广泛背景来看这一新兴研究领域是有价值的。我们的结论是,许多研究使用混合的研究设计,创新的mantling设计,如多阶段优化策略和序贯多分配随机试验方法具有相当大的希望,应该更广泛地使用,并应使用基于网络的控制,而不是通常的护理或无治疗控制在公共卫生研究。我们建议未来的研究主题,解决参与者招募,参与和社会有效性。
Web-based behavioral intervention research is rapidly growing.We review methodological issues shared across Web-based intervention research to help inform future research in this area.We examine measures and their interpretation using exemplar studies and our research.We report on research designs used to evaluate Web-based interventions and recommend newer, blended designs. We review and critique methodological issues associated with recruitment, engagement, and social validity.We suggest that there is value to viewing this burgeoning realm of research from the broader context of behavior change research. We conclude that many studies use blended research designs, that innovative mantling designs such as the Multiphase Optimization Strategy and Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial methods hold considerable promise and should be used more widely, and that Web-based controls should be used instead of usual care or no-treatment controls in public health research. We recommend topics for future research that address participant recruitment, engagement, and social validity.
