Exploring the provision of social support within a computer-mediated huntington's disease support network (2004)
Journal Article
Coulson, N., Aubeeluck, A., Buchanan, H., Semper, H., & Rooney, E. (2004). Exploring the provision of social support within a computer-mediated huntington's disease support network. Psychology and Health, 19(Issue sup1),

Objectives: The unique constraints placed upon the Huntington's Disease [HD] carer, and the lack of time and social support identified by this group may make computer-mediated support groups a unique channel of social support for these individuals. T... Read More about Exploring the provision of social support within a computer-mediated huntington's disease support network.
