Show moreRecent government initiatives to deploy health information technology in the USA, coupled with a growing body of scholarly evidence linking online heath information and positive health-related behaviors, indicate a widespread belief that access to health information and health information technologies can help reduce healthcare inequalities. However, it is less clear whether the benefits of greater access to online health information and health information technologies is equitably distributed across population groups, particularly to those who are underserved. To examine this issue, this article employs the 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) to investigate relationships between a variety of socio-economic variables and the use of the web-based technologies for health information seeking, personal health information management and patient-provider communication within the context of the USA. This study reveals interesting patterns in technology adoption, some of which are in line with previous studies, while others are less clear. Whether these patterns indicate early evidence of a narrowing divide in eHealth technology use across population groups as a result of the narrowing divide in Internet access and computer ownership warrants further exploration. In particular, the findings emphasize the need to explore differences in the use of eHealth tools by medically underserved and disadvantaged groups. In so doing, it will be important to explore other psychosocial variables, such as health literacy, that may be better predictors of health consumers' eHealth technology adoption.

Background: Web-based, tailored intervention programs show considerable promise in effecting health-promoting behaviors and improving health outcomes across a variety of medical conditions and patient populations. Purpose: This meta-analysis compares the effects of tailored versus non-tailored, web-based interventions on health behaviors, and explores the influence of key moderators on treatment outcomes. Methods: Forty experimental and quasi-experimental studies (N = 20,180) met criteria for...
Show moreBackground: Web-based, tailored intervention programs show considerable promise in effecting health-promoting behaviors and improving health outcomes across a variety of medical conditions and patient populations. Purpose: This meta-analysis compares the effects of tailored versus non-tailored, web-based interventions on health behaviors, and explores the influence of key moderators on treatment outcomes. Methods: Forty experimental and quasi-experimental studies (N = 20,180) met criteria for inclusion and were analyzed using meta-analytic procedures. Results: The findings indicated that web- based, tailored interventions effected significantly greater improvement in health outcomes as compared to control conditions both at post-testing, d = .139 (95% CI = .111, .166, p<.001, k = 40) and at follow-up, d = .158 (95% CI = .124, .192, p<.001, k = 21). No evidence of publication bias was found. Conclusions: These results provided further support for the differential benefits of tailored web-based interventions over non-tailored approaches. Analysis of participant/descriptive, intervention, and methodological moderators shed some light on factors that may be important to the success of tailored interventions. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.
