Topics most often explored through the Internet included sexually transmitted diseases; diet, fitness, and exercise; and sexual behaviors. Adolescents found Internet information to be of high value (using a composite gauging worth, trustworthiness, use, and relevance), with no significant differences related to sex, ethnicity, or mother's education. When considering 11 separate health topics, girls found it more valuable to have information on birth control, diet and nutrition, exercise, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and dating violence. Only for alternative medicine were there differences by ethnicity, and there were no differences based on mother's education for the value of having specific health information available through the Internet.Conclusion  \n For adolescents, the Internet is an accessed and valued information source on a range of sensitive health issues.", "publicationTitle": "Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "July 1, 2001", "volume": "155", "issue": "7", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "813-817", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med", "DOI": "10.1001/archpedi.155.7.813", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archpedi.155.7.813", "accessDate": "2012-10-10T18:52:44Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1072-4710", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Adolescent cybersurfing for health information", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "Silverchair", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-10-10T18:52:44Z", "dateModified": "2012-10-10T18:52:44Z" } }, { "key": "7TS4K8CK", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 90878, "name": "mobile patient", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/7TS4K8CK", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient/items/7TS4K8CK", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/2T5I9IVP", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 25846, "username": "ringmeup", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ringmeup", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "7TS4K8CK", "version": 2, "parentItem": "2T5I9IVP", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Full Text PDF", "accessDate": "2012-10-10T18:43:51Z", "url": "http://jama.jamanetwork.com/data/Journals/JAMA/4879/JOC21898.pdf", "note": "", "contentType": "application/pdf", "charset": "", "filename": "Baker L - 2003 - Use of the internet and e-mail for health care inf.pdf", "md5": "f3de5b23fcc15c8e02e33fb3f17e855e", "mtime": 1349894632707, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-10-10T18:43:51Z", "dateModified": "2012-10-10T18:43:52Z" } }, { "key": "2T5I9IVP", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 90878, "name": "mobile patient", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/2T5I9IVP", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient/items/2T5I9IVP", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 25846, "username": "ringmeup", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ringmeup", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Baker L", "parsedDate": "2003-05-14", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "2T5I9IVP", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Use of the internet and e-mail for health care information: Results from a national survey", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Wagner TH", "lastName": "Baker L" } ], "abstractNote": "Context  \n The Internet has attracted considerable attention as a means to improve \nhealth and health care delivery, but it is not clear how prevalent Internet \nuse for health care really is or what impact it has on health care utilization. \nAvailable estimates of use and impact vary widely.

Both public- and private-sector stakeholders, particularly government agencies and private corporations, will need to collaboratively reduce the gap between the health information \"haves\" and \"have-nots.\" This will include supporting health information technology access in homes and public places, developing applications for the growing diversity of users, funding research on access-related issues, ensuring the quality of health information and support, enhancing literacy in health and technology, training health information intermediaries, and integrating the concept of universal access to health information and support into health planning processes.", "publicationTitle": "JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "October 21, 1998", "volume": "280", "issue": "15", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "1371-1375", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "JAMA", "DOI": "10.1001/jama.280.15.1371", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.280.15.1371", "accessDate": "2012-10-10T18:42:43Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "0098-7484", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Access to health information and support", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "Silverchair", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-10-10T18:42:43Z", "dateModified": "2012-10-10T18:42:43Z" } }, { "key": "RQSNBVUU", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 90878, "name": "mobile patient", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/RQSNBVUU", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient/items/RQSNBVUU", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/76H2WHZC", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 25846, "username": "ringmeup", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ringmeup", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "RQSNBVUU", "version": 2, "parentItem": "76H2WHZC", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Full Text PDF", "accessDate": "2012-10-10T18:40:46Z", "url": "http://her.oxfordjournals.org/content/16/6/671.full.pdf", "note": "", "contentType": "application/pdf", "charset": "", "filename": "Cline and Haynes - 2001 - Consumer health information seeking on the Interne.pdf", "md5": "5ca8ee8cc674139cd7183a5ec0308347", "mtime": 1349894457955, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-10-10T18:40:46Z", "dateModified": "2012-10-10T18:40:57Z" } }, { "key": "GEIMXUG2", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 90878, "name": "mobile patient", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/GEIMXUG2", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient/items/GEIMXUG2", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/76H2WHZC", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 25846, "username": "ringmeup", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ringmeup", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "GEIMXUG2", "version": 2, "parentItem": "76H2WHZC", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Snapshot", "accessDate": "2012-10-10T18:40:46Z", "url": "http://her.oxfordjournals.org/content/16/6/671.long", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "utf-8", "filename": "671.html", "md5": "2dbc65ce1f15d6eb995c52492a2f41bd", "mtime": 1349894450066, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-10-10T18:40:46Z", "dateModified": "2012-10-10T18:40:46Z" } }, { "key": "76H2WHZC", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 90878, "name": "mobile patient", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/90878/items/76H2WHZC", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/mobile_patient/items/76H2WHZC", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 25846, "username": "ringmeup", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ringmeup", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Cline and Haynes", "parsedDate": "2001-12-01", "numChildren": 2 }, "data": { "key": "76H2WHZC", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Consumer health information seeking on the Internet: the state of the art", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "R.

Taking a communication perspective, this review argues why public health professionals should be concerned about the topic, considers potential benefits, synthesizes quality concerns, identifies criteria for evaluating online health information and critiques the literature. More than 70 000 websites disseminate health information; in excess of 50 million people seek health information online, with likely consequences for the health care system. The Internet offers widespread access to health information, and the advantages of interactivity, information tailoring and anonymity. However, access is inequitable and use is hindered further by navigational challenges due to numerous design features (e.g. disorganization, technical language and lack of permanence). Increasingly, critics question the quality of online health information; limited research indicates that much is inaccurate. Meager information-evaluation skills add to consumers' vulnerability, and reinforce the need for quality standards and widespread criteria for evaluating health information. Extant literature can be characterized as speculative, comprised of basic `how to' presentations, with little empirical research. Future research needs to address the Internet as part of the larger health communication system and take advantage of incorporating extant communication concepts. Not only should research focus on the `net-gap' and information quality, it also should address the inherently communicative and transactional quality of Internet use.
