背景资料：随着互联网的广泛传播，在整个世界的健康，这将是相关的报告，目前的知识健康信息搜索在互联网上从消费者的perspectives.Methods：我们进行了书目研究在过去的五年中，区分国际和法国study.Results：很长一段时间，（主要是美国）的研究一直只是描述性的。这些研究突出表明，与互联网上的健康搜索相关的因素与数字鸿沟背后的因素相似。消费者搜索被认为是有效的，尽管搜索技能相对低于标准。目前正在努力设置举报工具，广泛传播，并确保在互联网上提供更高质量的信息。然而，在一些社会群体中，理解和识字仍然是问题。关于对消费者健康本身的影响，一个（积极）的影响，互联网似乎出现，但研究应该continued.Conclusion：许多行为，用途或限制在本文涉及到任何信息搜索在互联网上，但其他问题或差异也发生在特定的健康领域。需要进行纵向调查，特别是为了更深入地了解我们所解决的影响，同时推出一种全面的方法来应对用户实践和体验的时间演变。具体来说，核心问题仍然是确定互联网如何（以及为谁）改变信息搜索行为，以及这在多大程度上影响健康行为和医疗保健。
Background: With the widespread dissemination of the Internet throughout the world of health, it would be relevant to report on current knowledge about health information search on the Internet from the consumers' standpoint.Methods: We conducted a bibliographical research over the past five Years and distinguished between international and French studies.Results: For a long time, the (mostly US) studies have been merely descriptive. The studies highlight that the factors associated with health searches on the Internet are similar to the factors underlying the digital divide. Consumer searches are deemed efficient although search skills are comparatively below standard. Attempts are underway to set tip tools, circulate them widely, and ensure better quality information on the Internet. However, comprehension and literacy are still issues in some social groups. Regarding the impact on consumer health per se, a (positive) effect of the Internet seems to emerge but research should be continued.Conclusion: Many of the behaviors, uses or limits addressed in this paper pertain to any information search on the Internet but other problems or differences also occur in the specific area of health. Longitudinal investigations are needed, specifically to gain deeper insight into the impacts we have addressed, while rolling out a comprehensive approach to the temporal evolution of user practices and experiences. Specifically, the central issue is still to determine how (and for whom) the Internet alters information search behaviors and, in fine, to what extent this affects health behaviors and the recourse to healthcare.
