Dr. Google’s office never closes Susannah Fox Pew Internet Project April 14, 2005

Being online is the norm – but it is not universal 61%

Broadband adoption affects the internet health marketplace 55 million

. Hypothesis: Industrial Age medicine is dead… medical science PHYSICIAN patien t non-MD staff

Hypothesis: …Information Age medicine is here NET-SAVVY PATIENT my other health experts other self-helpers my search engine my online support groups my primary doc my favorite health sites my specialist doc my online patient- helpers my online docs qualityware & communityware

95 million health seekers in the U.S. 8 in 10 internet users have searched for at least one of 16 health topics Big impact for people caring for sick loved ones High expectations that reliable health care information will be online Half of internet “health seekers” say they will turn first to the internet for their next health question

Specific disease and treatment information top the search list 63% of internet users have looked online for information about a specific disease or medical problem 47% for certain medical treatment or procedure 44% for diet, nutrition, vitamins, or nutritional supplements 36% for exercise or fitness 34% for prescription or OTC drugs Plus 11 other topics

How internet users gather health information Most: Scattershot searches in response to a diagnosis Some: Targeted health news or medical updates Few: Online support groups or lists for people concerned about a particular health or medical issue

Bad information is dangerous RAND/CHCF: Online advice is incomplete and hard to understand – esp. for Spanish readers NEJM: Americans receive about half of recommended medical care

Three types of health seeker Vigilant: 25% “always” check the source, date, and privacy policy of a health Web site Concerned: 25% check “most of the time” Unconcerned: 50% “only sometimes,” “hardly ever,” or “never” check

Conclusion More Americans look for health info online than see a doctor on a typical day Search engines are the starting point, not specialized sites is used for advice and support, esp. for chronically ill & caregivers Few verify information quality, but many use what they find
