Click to Connect: Improving Health Literacy through Internet Literacy is a randomized controlled trial. Its aim is to see how participants recruited from adult literacy centers search for and comprehend health information once they have a computer and high-speed Internet access.

Participants in the intervention group receive a free desktop computer system, a printer, and high-speed Internet access for nine months. Control group participants are given a monthly incentive to stay in touch with study staff, and receive health information at the end of the intervention.
