Chronic Health Conditions and Internet Behavioral Interventions: A Review of Factors to Enhance User Engagement
Open accessAbstract
The objective of this study was to review the evidence about what factors influence user engagement in Internet-based behavioral interventions for chronic illness. We conducted a systematic review of the recent published literature. Searches of MEDLINE (using Ovid and PubMed), The Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO, from January 2000 to December 2008, were completed. Additional articles were identified from searching the bibliographies of retrieved articles. We identified studies of interactive health communication interventions delivered via the Internet that, apart from delivering health information, had another component such as interactive tools to manage illness, decision support for treatment, or social support. We restricted the age range to adulthood. The search identified 186 abstracts; 46 articles were reviewed. We used a qualitative approach called "positive deviance" to study those interventions that have succeeded in engaging users where most have failed. Some ways to improve user engagement in Internet interventions suggested by our review include addressing health concerns that are important and relevant to an individual patient or consumer and an individualized approach, such as personally tailored advice and feedback. Interventions that are part of larger health management programs that include clinicians appear to be especially promising.

Because Internet interventions are multifaceted and complex, it is hard to know for certain which specific features work best.
“In conclusion, the complexity of multifaceted Internet interventions makes it difficult to determine with certainty what individual features of these interventions are most effective”

The paper relies on this without support.
The features that distinguish low-attrition from high-attrition interventions are causally responsible for differences in user engagement, rather than being confounded by other study characteristics.
“Because these studies differed substantially in possible reasons for attrition (ie, studies with demanding expectations early in the study), it is difficult to determine exact causes for attrition.”
“As a result of these studies, social support, new and engaging material, a theoretical framework of cognitive skill building, interaction with a case manager, tailored feedback, and phone support were features that contributed to decreased attrition.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The 10 studies at the extremes of attrition are representative enough of Internet interventions for chronic illness to identify general features that influence engagement.
“We used the positive deviance approach, described previously, to select the five studies with the lowest attrition studies (those who “succeeded”) and the five studies with highest attrition (those who “failed”).”
“Thus, our qualitative review of the manuscripts focused on 10 studies, representing the two extremes of lowest and highest attrition.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The included studies' descriptions of intervention features are accurate enough to attribute engagement differences to them.
“Also, many of the studies did not describe the features of the Web-based intervention in detail. Thus, it was not possible to determine with certainty what features may have enhanced or hindered user engagement and impacted attrition.”

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.
Claims read under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-09-28.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-09-28.
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.
