Comparison of Use and Appreciation of a Print-Delivered Versus CD-ROM-Delivered, Computer-Tailored Intervention Targeting Saturated Fat Intake: Randomized Controlled Trial by Willemieke Kroeze, Anke Oenema, Marci Campbell, Johannes Brug (Published on 29 Apr 2008) Background: Computer-tailored health education, a promising health education technique, is increasingly being delivered interactively, for example, over the Internet.
