A growing number of major health care organizations, such as the American Heart Association and the Mayo Clinic, are investing considerable resources in developing and marketing Internet-based programs for health promotion and disease management. These programs have the potential to provide some of the best-tailored interventions in behavior change science at relatively low costs. This report discusses review criteria developed in order to conduct a systematic evaluation of Internet programs for preventive behaviors (alcohol, diet, exercise and smoking) and disease management (pediatric asthma, depression and diabetes.) These criteria can be used to develop and evaluate the quality of health promotion programs on the Internet.

Key Words: disease management • evaluation studies • health behavior • health promotion • Internet
