NEW BREED OF ONLINE HEALTH INTERVENTIONS

2. THE RESEARCH PROJECT

12

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1. How can online interventions scale to the population level?

2. With such high attrition, what can be done to improve intervention efficacy?

3. How do you design an online health intervention?

4. Which psychological architectures work best?

13

CHALLENGES

• Few studies of voluntary behaviours, as most dealt with chronic disease management

• No magic list of psychological design

• Traditional one-way communication models only partially describe online communications, which is increasingly two-way

14

SOLUTIONS

• Communication-base Influence Components Model (CBICM)• Psychological architectures• One or two-way communications

• Meta-analysis (what’s meta-analysis?)• Psychology• Adherence

3. COMMUNICATION-BASED INFLUENCE COMPONENTS MODEL (CBICM)
