- While perceived as supporting and source of information, the internet may could be limited by quality
- Website information gathering often encouraged
- Research question – internet support perceived helpful for individuals with trichotillomania?
- Methods
- Nonsupported biomed intervention versus Yahoo! group
- Surveys sent out – low response rate
- Results
- Mean age about the same (32)
- Nonsupported intervention group – more likely to be longer term members
- Yahoo! group – more time logged on
- Both lists – reported finding tips and support
- Did not report feeling misled – felt misled by professionals
- 1/3 found family support
- 62% did not have professional help
- Reported drawbacks: read and response time, thread killers, English, differing expectations
- Critical analysis
- No treatment
- More participation in controversial therapies
- No providers participating
- The scale was not delineated for analysis
