    Building a Portal to Health Resources for Cancer Survivors
    (2013) Jones, Josette; Boston-Clay, Crystal; Kilaru, Aswani; Zolnoori, Maryam; Malika, Mahoui
    Cancer patients and their relatives access the WWW health resources when they covertly question the diagnosis and treatment, often with a positive impact on health outcomes. Thus, "cancer survivors" (post treatment) may continue to use the WWW as an information source. Little research exists related to the information needs of cancer survivors, their caregivers and how these needs can be met.

    Asthma in children is a global health crisis. Differential diagnosis of asthma is a complex process. Significant disconnects exist between disease prevalence vs. diagnoses. Families ignore or misunderstand asthma signs and symptoms. Families experience barriers to screening and diagnosis: health literacy, costs, travel and time, limited access to expert care, etc. Under-diagnosis results in significant individual and societal burdens. Early diagnosis leads to more effective disease management.
