“…Our completion rates may have been higher because of the immediate and personalized feedback provided as participants completed questionnaires. The completion rate for the follow-up questionnaire (40%) is low compared with most faceto-face clinical trials, but it is nearly identical to the first known Internet-enabled trial of smoking cessation (Schneider, Walter, & O'Donnell, 1990) and mailed surveys for tobacco cessation (Jones & Pitt, 1999).…”

“…This early study was limited, however by a small and select group of participants, consisting of 28 smokers who were primarily university students and staff. In a second study by Schneider and colleagues (Schneider, Walter, & O'Donnell, 1990), a much larger sample (n ¼ 1,158) was recruited to a randomized controlled study, involving a more intensive and interactive program. Abstinence rates from this trial were considerably lower than the earlier trial; the average, 1-month quit rate was 7.5% when counting participants who were lost to follow up as smokers, and 17.7% when counting just the smokers who responded to the follow-up messages.…”

To reverse the present stagnation in progress toward reduced smoking rates, new widely accessible treatment methods for smoking cessation must be developed and evaluated with large groups of smokers.We tested the feasibility of conducting a smoking cessation study over the Internet using a brief, self-help educational intervention. Through a direct e-mail sent from a large health information web site (WebMD), and with our presence on the Internet, we recruited 538 adult smokers to the study.Most participants (90.5%) completed all baseline questionnaires. Questionnaires showed acceptable to good reliability and were comparable with studies using

“…In the 1980s Schneider (1986) launched a fi ve-week, 24-hour-a-day system to stop smoking, coupled with an early dial-up electronic bulletin board to keep clients in touch with fellow and former smokers, as well as clinicians. Trials confi rmed that smokers in the full program made repeat visits to the system and smoked progressively less over the six-month follow-up (Schneider et al, 1990).…”

Background: There has been research on the use of offl ine video games for therapeutic purposes but online video game therapy is still fairly under-researched. Online therapeutic interventions have only recently included a gaming component. Hence, this review represents a timely fi rst step toward taking advantage of these recent technological and cultural innovations, particularly for the treatment of special-needs groups such as the young, the elderly and people with various conditions such as ADHD, anxiety and autism spectrum disorders. Material: A review integrating research fi ndings on two technological advances was conducted: the home computer boom of the 1980s, which triggered a fl ood of research on therapeutic video games for the treatment of various mental health conditions; and the rise of the internet in the 1990s, which caused computers to be seen as conduits for therapeutic interaction rather than replacements for the therapist. Discussion: We discuss how video games and the internet can now be combined in therapeutic interventions, as attested by a consideration of pioneering studies. Conclusion: Future research into online video game therapy for mental health concerns might focus on two broad types of game: simple society games, which are accessible and enjoyable to players of all ages, and online worlds, which offer a unique opportunity for narrative content and immersive remote interaction with therapists and fellow patients. Both genres might be used for assessment and training purposes, and provide an unlimited platform for social interaction. The mental health community can benefi t from more collaborative efforts between therapists and engineers, making such innovations a reality.

“…27 The evidence for effective web-based breast cancer support groups is limited. However, on-line interventions have been found to be beneficial to patients seeking treatment/help for substance abuse, 38 sexual abuse, 39 smoking cessation, 40 general medical concerns, 7 parenting concerns, 41,42 eating disorders, [43][44][45] and anxiety. 46 The current study provides empiric evidence regarding the psychologic benefits of on-line breast cancer support groups, particularly asynchronous support groups.…”

A versatile, ultralight, N‐doped, 3D graphene framework (GF) is prepared. In their Communication on L. Qu and co‐workers show that this GF has an ultra‐low density ((2.1±0.3) mg cm−3; a GF block can balance on a dandelion) and its adsorption capacity for oils is much higher than that of the best carbonaceous sorbents. The 3D open‐pore structure and N doping make GF promising as an electrode material for supercapacitors and as a metal‐free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells.
