LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) --Don't get too comfortable in your online
support group. A researcher may be lurking, recording your
outpourings in the name of science. In fact, a researcher posing as a
member of the support group may be posting messages simply to observe
the reaction from participants. As more researchers turn to the
Internet for studies, there is growing concern about the potential
harm to online users unaware they have become research subjects when
they discuss diseases, marital problems and sexual identity crises.
