DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Internet has generated cautious enthusiasm about its role as a vehicle to transmit cancer-related information and health services. Healthcare providers and patients are increasingly utilizing the Internet to educate themselves about prevention, treatment options, and upcoming innovations. Some cancer patients and providers are looking to the Internet as a source of care delivery as they seek online prescriptions or alternative medical treatments. As Internet applications and use continue to increase, so does the need to fully understand the potential of this phenomenon. Conventional academic approaches break this phenomenon into discrete pieces for study. Yet, the complex nature of cancer care makes it impossible to fully understand without applying an integrated approach. Online cancer services are no different. Each dimension, ranging from diffusion and utilization to cognitive processing, is interdependent. To gain important insight about online cancer care that will facilitate pragmatic and effective utilization, we must expand our understanding of the relationships among various fields. This proposal seeks to bring together leading scientists from a variety of disciplines for a two-day online cancer services conference. Online cancer services are defined as any service (informational, educational, or clinical) available through the Internet. The overall objective of this meeting is to create an important dialog among cutting-edge Internet researchers from a variety of disciplines to integrate what is currently known about the provision of online cancer services and develop an agenda for future interdisciplinary work. The specific program, "The Search for an Interdisciplinary Understanding of Online Cancer Services," will bring together scientists from a dozen disciplines, each of whom will lead a discussion from his discipline's perspective and ultimately provide a book chapter for a publication to ensue from this meeting. Disciplines proposed for conference participation include: medical outcomes, cognitive and behavioral psychology, economics, health services, health education, communications, information technology/telecommunications, sociology, advertising, public policy, e-commerce (business), media interface design/human factors, and special populations/digital divide. The two-day conference will be held during the last week of January 2004 in Tampa, Florida.

描述（由申请人提供）：互联网作为传播癌症相关信息和健康服务的工具，引起了人们的谨慎热情。 医疗保健提供者和患者越来越多地利用互联网来进行有关预防、治疗选择和即将推出的创新的自我教育。 一些癌症患者和医疗服务提供者在寻求在线处方或替代医疗时，将互联网作为提供护理的来源。 随着互联网应用和使用的不断增加，充分了解这一现象的潜力的必要性也在不断增加。 传统的学术方法将这种现象分解成离散的部分进行研究。 然而，癌症治疗的复杂性使得如果不采用综合方法就不可能完全理解。 在线癌症服务也不例外。 从扩散和利用到认知处理的每个维度都是相互依赖的。 为了获得有关在线癌症护理的重要见解，以促进务实和有效的利用，我们必须扩大对各个领域之间关系的理解。 该提案旨在汇集来自不同学科的领先科学家，召开为期两天的在线癌症服务会议。 在线癌症服务被定义为通过互联网提供的任何服务（信息、教育或临床）。 这次会议的总体目标是在来自不同学科的尖端互联网研究人员之间建立一个重要的对话，以整合目前已知的关于提供在线癌症服务的知识，并为未来的跨学科工作制定议程。 这个名为“寻求对在线癌症服务的跨学科理解”的具体计划将汇集来自十几个学科的科学家，每个人都将从其学科的角度进行讨论，并最终为随后的出版物提供一个书籍章节。会议。 提议参加会议的学科包括：医疗结果、认知和行为心理学、经济学、卫生服务、健康教育、通信、信息技术/电信、社会学、广告、公共政策、电子商务（商业）、媒体界面设计/人为因素，以及特殊人群/数字鸿沟。 为期两天的会议将于 2004 年 1 月最后一周在佛罗里达州坦帕举行。
