在过去的几年里，美国没有保险的人数已经上升到4000多万人，但对他们的健康传播行为却知之甚少。来自2003年健康信息全国趋势调查（HINTS）的数据被用来分析人口统计学，健康状况，健康保险状况，在线健康寻求，以及对各种健康媒体的关注量之间的关系。对6,369名美国人的随机抽样表明，投保人和未投保人之间存在几个统计学上的显著差异：未投保人更可能更年轻，受教育程度更低，而且是西班牙裔。调查结果还表明，与有保险的人相比，那些没有医疗保险的人报告说不太健康，更痛苦，对癌症的风险认知更高。健康保险，控制人口统计和健康状况时，解释了一个统计上显着的，但在网上寻求健康和关注各种其他媒体的健康信息的少量差异。
Numbers of the uninsured in America have risen in the past few years to more than 40 million people, yet relatively little is known about their health communication behaviors. Data from the 2003 Health Information National Trends Survey ( HINTS) were used to analyze the relationship among demographics, health status, health insurance status, online health seeking, and amount of attention paid to various media for health. A random sample of 6,369 Americans indicated several statistically significant differences between the insured and uninsured: the uninsured were more likely younger, less educated, and Hispanic. Findings also indicated that those without health insurance reported being less healthy and more distressed and hold a greater risk perception for cancer, compared with their insured counterparts. Health insurance, when controlling for demographics and health status, explained a statistically significant but small amount of variance in both online health seeking and attention to health messages in various other media.
