Abstract
Gliniecka's book examines an increasingly important question: how do young people turn to digital platforms for health-related conversations, particularly at a time when public health resources are stretched thin?The book positions Reddit as a promising space where early interventions and cost-cutting forms of self-management may take place.By exploring youth voices in such spaces, Gliniecka highlights how digital platforms can support peer-led health dialogue that is both creative and resourceful.
