Description
This poster presents a collaboration of projects documenting the lived experiences of those with celiac disease, including risk management when going out and the navigation of resources and health information.
Salma interviewed individuals with celiac disease over Zoom and analyzed their responses to better understand how they measure risk related to living with celiac disease. In total Salma conducted more than a dozen interviews from individuals from three different countries. She also analyzed through Twitter how people talk about risk and managing social situations.
Grace compared literature and conducted interviews in order to investigate the generational gap in regard to how celiac patients navigate resources, information, and community in online spaces. Her research included factors such as internet literacy, how people discern reliable information, and what motivates people to become involved in online celiac discussions from both "digital natives" and older populations.
