虽然研究表明，转向互联网获取有关健康问题的信息越来越普遍，但我们对人们获取此类信息的策略以及他们在网上查阅的材料的准确性知之甚少。本文借鉴了在人的观察和采访了不同的210名年轻人的经验，寻找紧急避孕（EC）的信息在网络上。调查结果表明，尽管是一个高度有线组使用互联网的经验，许多受访者无法找到准确的信息，这一重要的话题。三分之一的参加者未能找到任何有关雇员补偿的资料，而大部分参加者亦未能找出在有需要时获取雇员补偿的最有效方法。结果表明，尽管大量的信息在线提供，许多人没有必要的技能，浏览在线内容以及教育人们知情和有效的互联网使用的政策影响。
While research has established that turning to the Internet for information about health matters is increasingly common, we know little about the strategies that people use to access such information and the accuracy of material they consult online. This paper draws on in-person observations and interviews with a diverse group of 210 young adults about their experiences with looking for emergency contraception (EC) information on the Web. Findings suggest that despite being a highly wired group with much experience using the Internet, many respondents are unable to find accurate information on this important topic. One third of participants were unable to find any relevant information about EC and the majority of the whole group could not identify the most efficient way to acquire EC in a time of need. Results suggest that despite vast amounts of information available online, many people do not have the necessary skills to navigate online content well with policy implications for educating people about informed and efficient Internet uses.
