Putting the Pieces Together: Endometriosis Blogs, Cognitive Authority, and Collaborative Information Behaviour
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Endometriosis causes female pelvic pain and infertility. This study examines blogs written by endometriosis patients in the context of collaborative information sharing. Preliminary discourse analysis supported previous studies that found patients questioning medical professionals’ cognitive authority. Additionally, the blogger’s affective authority may play a role in readers’ information judgements.L'endométriose cause chez les femmes des douleurs au pelvis et l'infertilité. Cette étude examine les blogues rédigés par les patientes souffrant d'endométriose dans un contexte d'échange d'information collaborative. L'analyse préliminaire du discours corrobore des études antérieures qui ont démontré que les patientes remettent en question l'autorité cognitive des professionnels de la santé. Par ailleurs, l'autorité affective des blogueuses peut jouer un rôle dans le jugement informationnel des lectrices.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
