Significant percentages of the US population go without access to high-speed internet, despite its increasing use by healthcare and education systems. One University of Georgia first year, however, is advocating to bridge this so-called “digital divide.”
Shriya Garg is a Foundation Fellow and a Stamps Scholar at UGA studying genetics and biology. She’s involved in a recent study published in Nature Mental Health which explores the connection between the “digital divide” and a lack of access to mental healthcare.
She sat down with WUGA’s Alexia Ridley earlier this week.
