    Area of Science:

    • Health Promotion
    • Communication Technology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Computer conferencing offers convenient communication but is often perceived as impersonal.
    • Self-help groups are valuable for behavior change (e.g., weight loss, smoking cessation).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the potential of computer conferencing to increase participation in self-help groups.
    • To assess if computer conferencing can foster successful self-help group interactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of computer conferencing's suitability for self-help group formats.
    • Evaluation of a trial smoking-cessation program utilizing computer conferencing.

    Main Results:

    • Computer conferencing may encourage interactions vital for successful self-help groups.
    • A trial smoking-cessation program indicated positive outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer conferencing can be a valuable tool for increasing self-help group engagement.
    • This technology shows promise for supporting health promotion initiatives.
