Mapping Mainstream and Fringe Medicine on the Internet

WILLIAM EVANS

Georgia State University

This report describes a system that monitors Internet discussion groups and Web sites for evidence that public interest in herbal remedies is outpacing the available scientific evidence regarding herbal remedies. Using content analysis and bibliometric techniques, this system can identify emerging unorthodox practices and beliefs related to health and medicine. In addition, this system can map the diffusion of health-related claims across Internet communities.
