关于癌症相关信息的获取、来源和信任，或促进或阻碍全人群交流的因素，我们知之甚少。通过一个涉及许多个人和组织广泛投入的仔细发展过程，美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）开发了健康信息国家趋势调查（HINTS），以帮助填补这一空白。这项具有全国代表性的电话调查于2002-2003年首次进行，共有6 369名年龄在18岁以上的人参加，并将根据资金情况每两年重复一次。创建一个周期性重复的人口调查的目的是跟踪公众对新通信技术的快速变化的使用趋势，同时绘制在公众的知识，态度和行为方面实现健康通信目标的进展情况。HINTS调查工具是建立在现有的健康传播和行为变化模型的基础上，考虑到迅速变化的传播环境。调查中的问题来自一个整体理论框架，该框架将传统广播媒体的“推动”方面与新媒体的“拉动”方面并列。HINTS数据将广泛提供给研究人员和从业人员;它将有助于进一步研究健康传播和健康促进，并为各种环境中的计划，政策和实践提供有用的信息。
Little is known about access, sources, and trust of cancer-related information, or factors that facilitate or hinder communication on a populationwide basis. Through a careful developmental process involving extensive input from many individuals and organizations, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed the Health Information National Trends Survey ( HINTS) to help fill this gap. This nationally representative telephone survey of 6,369 persons aged greater than or equal to18 years among the general population was first conducted in 2002-2003, and will be repeated biennially depending on availability of funding. The purpose of creating a population survey to be repeated on a cyclical basis is to track trends in the public's rapidly changing use of new communication technologies while charting progress in meeting health communication goals in terms of the public's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The HINTS survey instrument was built upon extant models of health communication and behavior change, taking into account the rapidly changing communication environment. Questions in the survey were drawn from an overall theoretical framework that juxtaposed the "push" aspects of traditional broadcast media against the "pull" aspects of new media. HINTS data will be made widely available for researchers and practitioners; it will help further research in health communication and health promotion and provide useful information for programs, policies, and practices in a variety of settings.
