          Abstract

          Resumen La integración del cribado, la intervención breve y la derivación al tratamiento es una estrategia preventiva y asistencial que ha demostrado eficacia en la mejora de la salud de los consumidores de alcohol y otras drogas. Su versión digital ha demostrado una mayor facilidad para su extensión y aceptación entre los adolescentes y jóvenes. Debido a la necesidad de desarrollar actuaciones eficientes para la prevención y reducción de riesgo del uso problemático de internet en la población escolar, se propone en este trabajo la adaptación de esta metodología para su utilización en la prevención de este problema en dicha población. El Programa PiensaTIC es un programa de cribado e intervención breve administrado vía web que se ha desarrollado de forma piloto con estudiantes de enseñanzas secundarias en la ciudad de Málaga. Se describen en este artículo las características de este programa preventivo y sus resultados respecto al conocimiento de las diferentes formas de uso de internet por parte de los adolescentes estudiados. En este estudio se encuentran diferencias entre los tipos de conductas online más frecuentes entre alumnos y alumnas así como prevalencia y características diferenciales, según género, del uso problemático de internet.

          Abstract The integration of screening, brief interventions, and referral to treatment is a preventive and care strategy that has demonstrated effectiveness in improving the health of alcohol and other drug users. The implementation of this strategy in its digital form has facilitated its spread and acceptance among adolescents and young people. The objective of this study was to adapt this methodology in order to develop efficient actions to prevent and reduce the risk of problem internet use among the school population. The PiensaTIC Program is a web-based screening and brief intervention pilot application that has been administered to secondary school students in the city of Malaga (Spain). This article describes the features of this preventive program and its results regarding the different forms of internet usage by the adolescents studied. Differences were found between male and female students in relation to the most common types of online behavior, as well as differences in prevalence and the differential characteristics of problem internet use by gender.

            The Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS): some psychometric properties.

            The present study aimed to develop a short, easily administered, psychometrically sound, and valid instrument to assess the severity of compulsive Internet use. A set of criteria was determined based on the addiction literature. Next, the internal consistency and convergent validity were determined, and the set was tested as a one-factor solution in two representative samples of heavy Internet users (n = 447 and n = 229) and in one large convenience sample of regular Internet users (n = 16,925). In these three studies, respondents were asked about their online behavior and about problems related to Internet use. In the first study, the Online Cognition Scale (OCS) was included to determine concurrent validity. The newly developed Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) contains 14 items ratable on a 5-point Likert scale. The instrument showed good factorial stability across time and across different samples and subsamples. The internal consistency is high, and high correlations with concurrent and criterion variables demonstrate good validity.

              How internet users find, evaluate, and use online health information: a cross-cultural review.

              The Internet has become a favored source to find health information. Worldwide, about 4.5% of all Internet searches are for health-related information. However, research has found that the quality of online health information is mixed, which raises serious concerns about the impact of this information. This paper reviews relevant research to understand how health information on the Internet is retrieved, evaluated, and used. Most users of online health information are looking for information about specific health conditions because they or someone they know was diagnosed with a medical condition. They typically use general search engines to find online health information and enter short phrases, often misspelled. They seldom go beyond the first page of a search. Both their search and evaluation skills are limited although they are concerned about the quality of online health information. They avoid sites with overt commercialism, but often do not pay attention to indicators of credibility. Online health information is used to fill an information void which can enhance coping and self efficacy, affects health-related decisions and behavior of users and their friends and family, and is often discussed with health care providers. There are cross-cultural differences in the types of sites used as well as how online information is used. Based on the research reviewed in this paper, three major recommendations are suggested. Professionals should recommend sites. Professionals should promote more effective search and evaluation techniques. Professionals should be involved in developing and promoting uniform standards for health and mental health sites.
