This document summarizes a panel discussion on methodological issues and ethical challenges in e-health research. The panel discussed key issues like sampling biases in internet studies, ethical concerns around privacy and informed consent in online research, and challenges assessing the reliability and validity of measures administered online. Specific studies on online psychoeducation, a bipolar disorder program, and youth mental health education were also briefly described to illustrate these methodological considerations.
