Dear all
(apologies for cross posting)
I am part the way into my PhD looking at how patients and the public access
and use consumer health information, and particularly the role of the
internet in this. (my focus is on mental health information)
I would be very interested to hear from anyone else working in this area, or
anyone who can point me at good references for information seeking
behaviour, information use, the internet and patient information. (In case
there are some that I have missed in my literature review!) I am
particularly keen to know about any grey literature that might not have been
indexed in the main bibliographic databases.
I'd also be very grateful to know of any references for mental health
consumer health information needs as I can find very few papers on this.
Regards
John
