To: SWS-L@listproc.cc.ku.edu Hi Everyone I am going to be writing an internal grant proposal in which I intend to content analysis of websites, both "parenting ones" and message boards and more medically focused ones looking at prenatal depression. This is a first step in a larger study in which later I want to interview women who experience depression during pregnancy and health care providers. However, here is my question based on talking to someone about this outside of the social sciences. How do I know that pregnant women use the internet to find information? Is this more of a given or should I be citing this? If it is the latter, I am at a loss of even how to search the literature for this. Any suggestions or cites would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
