[Air-l] Online Support Groups

Dear Colleagues, I'm looking for references to journal articles, written by sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists or other social scientists about online peer illness support groups. The disorders can be of any kind--e.g., breast cancer, anorexia, pain syndromes, huntington's disease, etc. I'd appreciate any suggestions. If you email them to me (jacobson@brandeis.edu), I'll compile them and post them to this list. Thanks in advance, Dave Jacobson David Jacobson Professor of Anthropology Department of Anthropology Brandeis University MS 006 Waltham, MA 02454-9110 USA Phone: 781-736-2228 Fax: 781-736-2232
