Hot links are made to information created by TeenNet and to exemplary external websites. CyberIsle provides more than just health information. These tools provide individualized feedback and self-change strategies that are tailored to each individual user. The discussion topics range from smoking and drug use to sexual health and relationships. The discussions are unmoderated, however the TeenNet staff does intervene if postings become offensive or inappropriate.
Hot Talk relies on user's mutual respect for on-line community standards.
User demographics are collected through a registration system that all users must complete in order to enter CyberIsle. Registration currently collects data on age, gender, user s country of residence and general hobbies. The registration process is formatted to create a CyberIsle bus pass, complete with a picture that the user selects. All registered users are asked to participate in our study group which tracks the use of CyberIsle for research purposes. Although adult visitors can access the site, only those who are 24 years old or less and consent to participation are included in our study group.
