How can the nationwide "digital divide" be closed by health care professionals?
1. Provide online health care resources that are equally distributed.
2. Provide the technology needed to access the Internet.
3. Provide additional resources in regions that do not have access to technology.
4. Provide increased access to free health care clinics with computer terminals.

Rationale: Equitably distributed online health care resources, skill in using these resources, and a robust telecommunications infrastructure can contribute to the closing of the digital divide and the overarching goal of Healthy People 2010 to eliminate health disparities.
