We engage in several types of Internet-based or Internet-supported research:

• Evidence-based Web Interventions
  The development of health interventions that can be delivered via the Web and subjected to outcome research to determine their effectiveness. Our first such outcome study focused on a series of Spanish/English smoking cessation studies.
  
  
  
• Internet recruitment of participants for research studies
  We have found that the Internet can serve as a way of reaching individuals interested in participating in health research. We can check for eligibility via the Web, and inform interested individuals whether they can participate in these studies. One such study recruited Chinese-speaking persons to participate in a smoking study.
  
  
  
• Data collection for traditional studies
  We have found that collecting data via the Web can be a very efficient and cost-effective method to carry out traditional studies. In these studies, participants are recruited and interviewed in the usual face-to-face manner, but their data is entered either by our staff, or, if possible, by the participants themselves.
