“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.
