Reason for withdrawal from publication

The review "Interactive Health Communication Applications for people with chronic disease" by Elizabeth Murray, Jo Burns, Sharon See Tai, Rosalind Lai, Irwin Nazareth, first published on issue 4 2004 of the Cochrane Library, was found to contain an error. This meant the direction of change was incorrect for several clinical and behavioural outcomes. For further details please refer to The Cochrane Library Feedback website (http://www.update‐software.com/ccng/ccng.exe?SourceID=CD004274)

The authors and editorial team responded immediately, and have withdrawn the review from The Cochrane Library until the error is corrected. The authors and editorial team apologise to all concerned.

Population

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.
