Technology Impact on New Adult Behavior about Health Information
Abstract
New adults, between 18 and 25 years old, need and want information about health issues. Even though new adults tend to prefer asking people for help, increasingly they access digital resources because of the Internet's availability, affordability, and anonymity. Health information interests vary by age, gender, social situation, and motivation. Several concerns also impact how new adults access and seek that information. This chapter discusses several issues related to new adult technology use for seeking health information and offers recommendations to insure optimal community education and services to address health information needs of all new adults.
