Accepted AbstractsMedicine 2.0'11 (Stanford University, USA)Design of Web-based Support Systems in Less Structured Contexts - the Case of Young Carers Background It has been suggested that at least 4% in a given population of young people are young carers (YC), providing substantial support to diseased family members. Many of them have little or no help from society, partly due to societal neglect of this group and partly due to barriers for help seeking, such as shame, stigma and distrust in health and social care resources (HSCR).

Departing from the widespread use of the internet in modern society and the emerging use of web applications in healthcare the multi-case project captures persons’ needs and expectations in order to develop highly usable web recourses. To support the underlying idea to move beyond the illness, we approach the dev...

Method: This study was a randomized control trial, following the CONSORT statements and eConsort support. Primary outcome variable was str...
