Pew – Health Topics 80% of internet users look for health information online

Health Topics – 80% of internet users look for health information online, Susannah Fox, Associate Director, Pew Research, February 1, 2011

  • “Eight in ten internet users look online for health information, making it the third most popular online pursuit among all those tracked by the Pew Internet Project, following email and using a search engine. Since one-quarter of adults do not go online, the percentage of health information seekers is 59% among the total U.S. adult population. The survey finds that not only are some demographic groups more likely than others to have internet
    access, but these same groups are generally more likely to seek health information once online.”
