Pew Posting On Doctor-Approved Health Information Online

Pew Internet & American Life Project: “This morning’s NPR story, Patients Turn to the Internet for Health Information, featured data from [Pew’s] e-patients report, but also some research that has been conducted at the Center for Health Enhancement Systems Studies (CHESS) at the University of Wisconsin. CHESS researchers Robert Hawkins and Suzanne Pingree talked about how breast cancer patients in their study seemed to benefit from being directed to doctor-approved health information online.”
