Project Description:

The purpose of this study is to find out information about the Internet use by teens with spina bifida. We are interested in learning how often teens, ages 14 to 18 years use the Internet, the reasons why they use the Internet and if they use it to learn more about spina bifida. Theh intent of this study is to learn the extent to which adolescents use the Internet and whether using the Internet would be an appropriate intervention strategy. It is hoped this information will help researchers to design better studies in the future.
