Patient Education Over half of US adults have looked online for health information in the past year. 35% of US adults have used the Internet to self-diagnosis, but only half of them talked to a clinician about what they found online. 54% of those 65+ are online—and over half of them have looked up health information online in the past year.

Social life of health information “On a practical level, the vast majority of people living with chronic conditions never attend traditional, in-person support group meetings, although studies show they could benefit from such groups. Instead, people often mobilize their “social convoy” of family members, friends, colleagues, fellow patients, and fellow caregivers – many of whom are connected online via email, social network sites, or by other means.” Pew Internet, 2011

Example: Scientists collected all the published studies that compared types of treatment for prostate cancer that had not spread beyond the prostate gland. They compiled the results of these studies in a comparative effectiveness review, which is a type of systematic review. Source: Agency for Health Care Research and Quality http://1.usa.gov/1gFJZnw
