Subject: FW: PhD studentship advert-ICTs and health care
Is it posssible to place this advert (below) for a studentship on your list?
I tried sending it directly but was rejected , presumably because I am not a
member.
Thanks

>
> 1. An investigation of Internet usage in a variety of public settings at
> community level (such as public libraries and community networks) and
> issues relating to access and equity in areas such as health education and
> health promotion.
>
> 2. An engagement with community groups and local citizens to investigate
> and identify health information and communication needs and how ICTs might
> be utilised in addressing these needs.
>
> 3. An investigation into the issues arising in relation to the use of the
> internet once access has been secured- for example, issues concerning
> computer and information literacy and the role of information
> intermediaries in the consumption of online health information by
> different user groups in different community contexts.
