| P.O.W.E.R. Surfers (Patients Online for Well-being, Education and Research TM) |
Patients and their families are surfing the World Wide Web in ever-increasing numbers in search of medical information. But many of the Web sites they visit are considered unreliable by health care professionals. And some patients who might benefit from a Web search do not have the equipment or the skills necessary to participate. P.O.W.E.R. Surfers was created to address these needs. |
