Our goals are:

• To contribute to the reduction of global health disparities
• By developing evidence-based self-help Web sites and
• Making them available to those most in need around the world
• At no cost to the user

Interventions based on psychological principles:

• Have been shown to be effective for a wide range of health problems
• Like drugs, behavioral health interventions can be standardized and tested in rigorous scientific studies
• The advantage of behavioral health interventions or “behavioral prescriptions” is that, unlike drug treatments, they can be provided via electronic communication channels, thus making them potentially available to literally millions of people at very low cost.
