Researchers summarized previous reviews of technology-based interventions (TBIs), focusing on moderators of efficacy, and present an organizing framework of considerations for designing and evaluating TBIs for substance use disorders. The four primary framework elements are Accessibility, Usage, Human Contact, and Intervention Content. The framework is intended to aid in guiding programmatic progress in this field.
