Hi Everyone
   I am going to be writing an internal grant proposal in which I intend to
content analysis of websites, both "parenting ones" and message boards and
more medically focused ones looking at prenatal depression. This is a first
step in a larger study in which later I want to interview women who
experience depression during pregnancy and health care providers.
    However, here is my question based on talking to someone about this
outside of the social sciences. How do I know that pregnant women use the
internet to find information? Is this more of a given or should I be citing
this?  If it is the latter, I am at a loss of even how to search the
literature for this. Any suggestions or cites would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
