Use of electronic networking for the enhancement of mental health services.
In the Behavioral Informatics Tomorrow column of our November/December, 1994, issue, we presented an introduction to the basic concepts and techniques of electronic communication via the Internet, as well some resources for behavioral healthcare professionals who already utilize electronic bulletin board services (BBS). Now we offer this more detailed article for those interested in utilizing archies, gophers, browsers and chats to gain access to the rapidly growing body of behavioral healthcare informational resources residing in Cyberspace. The authors present dozens of mental health BBs, conferences and networks--with instructions on how to get there.
