The definitive references' collection of my thesis

December 6, 2008

“Internet, Health and Society. Analysis of the uses of the Internet related to the health in Catalonia” is the titled of my thesis. I would like to share all the references I have been working with during the last almost four years. Soon, I will be publishing all the thesis (in Spanish and I’ll translate the main results to English) but first I have to defence it following Academia way of life.
