Health Information Discussion
Chapter 3 Overview
Findings from the study conducted (discussed in this chapter) suggested that:
- Higher educated women tended to use print health or news media, broadcast media, health policy organizations and organized events 2.0 to 2.4 times more than less educated women (high school education or less) – these findings were, however, not statistically significant
- Compared to unemployed women, working females had greater odds (1.2 – 2.4) of accessing health information via the Internet and other computing resources
- Both groups primarily used print & news media, broadcast media and computer-based resources as an order of overall resource preference
