Jan and others,

Look at the Childrens' Partnership Study, Online Content for Low-Income 
and Underserved Users,  at http://www.childrenspartnership.org/

I understand they have done a follow-up study which will be out soon.

I would be interested in seeing your research when it is completed. 
 Please post a notice on this list.

Thanks,


David J. Rosen
