Everyday health information seeking among millennials

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research investigates the information behavior of millennial students in the context of everyday‐life health information. Data was collected using a mixed‐methods approach of a survey (3565 responses) followed by interviews. Results‐to‐date show that while the students make good judgements regarding the credibility of resources, that judgment is not always reflected in the resources they actually choose to use.
