Report | Susannah Fox
The California HealthCare Foundation engaged the Pew Internet & American Life Project to take a closer look at how Californians are using the Internet to research health information. Telephone interviews were conducted with 663 Californians and compared to a sample of 1,800 non-Californians (American adults living in the 47 other continental states). Findings from the nationwide survey were released in a July 2003 report entitled, “Internet Health Resources: Health searches and email have become more commonplace, but there is room for improvement in searches and overall Internet access.” This report presents information on three separate issues: low-income residents, Latino residents, and the health topics of particular interest to Californians.
