If you run a healthcare support group online (be that a message board, forum, IRC, etc…) and are wondering about jumping into virtual worlds, I hope the following paper is helpful.
If you are running a face to face healthcare support group and wonder about doing so in a virtual world, this paper may also be helpful. However, there are some general things about online support I do not address.
If you are looking for an introduction to the basics of Second Life, this is really not the paper for you. But if you want to know how groups function without going into Second Life, this paper may be a good start.
