Guest Editors' Introduction: Online Health Communication

Amy Koerber Texas Tech University ; Brian Still Texas Tech University

Abstract

Abstract Early scholarly inquiries into online health information focused primarily on questions of accuracy and credibility. In recent research, however, we are seeing an expansion in this initial focus, to include issues such as the usability, design, and ethics of online health information. This special issue contains five articles that contribute to scholarly inquiry in these emerging areas of interest.
