The Science of Internet Interventions
Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been an explosion in research focused on the development and evaluation of health-based treatment and prevention programs delivered via the Internet. A plethora of terms have been used to both categorize the related field (e.g., e-therapy, online treatment, Internet therapy, and interactive health communication), as well as the specific applications (e.g., web-based programs, Internet applications, and web systems). The programs or “Internet interventions,” as they are more apt to be called, typically target behavioral or mental health problems. Prior to these Internet-based programs, computer-based applications to change behavior or treat mental disorders had been created and tested intermittently during the previous two decades as computers were popularized. The breadth of literature on these systems, particularly those that utilize the Internet, has become quite substantive [1]. Outcome trials of Internet interventions have consistently demonstrated greater symptom improvements or changes in behavior compared with controls, and for some problems, outcomes from Internet interventions rival those seen in face-to-face interventions. Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers have now been published in this area, most since the year 2000. There is already quite a number of review articles focused specifically on Internet intervention research. Some of these reviews are now older, highlighting early, but important findings in the field [2]; some are systematic and fairly detailed [3]; and some are large scale, comprehensive reviews [1, 4]. There are many reviews focused on specific areas, such as pediatrics [5]; physical activity [6]; obesity [7]; alcohol and tobacco use [8, 9]; cardiac disease [10]; depression and anxiety [11]; and traumatic stress [12]. There are also a surprising number of published meta-analyses for such a young field [13–15]. The conclusion drawn from most reviews and meta-analyses is that Internet interventions yield positive treatment outcomes, symptom reduction, and improved quality of life.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This editorial introduces a special series arguing that Internet interventions have established efficacy but lack a sufficient scientific foundation. It summarizes five contributions on definitions, a behavior-change model, methodology, cost-effectiveness, and commentary.
Key findings
- Outcome trials of Internet interventions have consistently demonstrated greater symptom improvements or behavior changes compared with controls, and for some problems outcomes rival face-to-face interventions; hundreds of peer-reviewed papers have been published, most since 2000.
- Despite many reviews and meta-analyses concluding positive treatment outcomes, symptom reduction, and improved quality of life, there is “remarkably little literature on the underlying science of the field.”
- Barak et al. organize programs into four primary categories: web-based interventions, online counseling and therapy, Internet-operated therapeutic software, and other online activities; Ritterband et al. propose a nine-step behavior-change model.
- Danaher and Seeley review methodological approaches and call for more innovative designs; Tate et al. review cost and cost-effectiveness analyses and note that few studies provide cost data; Glasgow’s commentary highlights scalability, reach, and health disparity.
Methods
- Design: editorial/introduction to a special series in *Annals of Behavioral Medicine*; not an empirical study.
- Data or sample: narrative overview of five special-series articles—Barak et al., Ritterband et al., Danaher and Seeley, Tate et al., and a commentary by Glasgow.
- Main analysis: descriptive synthesis of each article’s focus and implications; no primary data collection or statistical analysis is reported.
Limitations
- Stated: the Ritterband model is a simplification that will evolve, with components possibly added or removed and further elements requiring testing; cost savings are often assumed based on fully automated systems, while few studies provide cost data; requiring outcomes similar to face-to-face care may be unnecessarily stringent.
- Evident: as an editorial, it presents no original empirical data, systematic review methods, or quantitative synthesis, so its conclusions rely on cited literature and the special-series papers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
