利用互联网寻找健康信息正变得越来越普遍。它对医疗保健利用的影响在一般人群中几乎不为人所知，特别是在父母在互联网上寻找健康信息的儿童中。我们的目的是调查父母使用互联网寻找健康信息和他们的孩子使用初级保健之间的关系。这项横断面调查是在法国学龄前儿童的父母群体中进行的。主要结果测量是根据父母使用互联网寻求健康信息的情况，根据父母和孩子各自的特点以及父母使用其他健康信息来源进行调整，自我报告的儿童初级保健咨询次数。问卷共2197份，回收1 068份，回复率为49%。在过去12个月内，父母使用互联网寻求健康信息的次数与其子女的咨询次数之间没有关联。与初级保健咨询次数相关的变量是儿童的特征（年龄、医疗条件、顺势疗法）、父母的特征（职业、收入、压力水平）和咨询其他健康信息来源（药剂师、亲属的建议）。我们没有发现父母使用互联网寻找健康信息和儿童初级保健利用之间的任何关系。互联网似乎被用作保健服务的补充，而不是替代。
Using the Internet to seek health information is becoming more common. Its consequences on health care utilisation are hardly known in the general population, in particular among children whose parents seek health information on the Internet. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between parental use of the Internet to seek health information and primary care utilisation for their child. This cross-sectional survey has been carried out in a population of parents of pre-school children in France. The main outcome measure was the self-reported number of primary care consultations for the child, according to parental use of the Internet to seek health information, adjusted for the characteristics of the parents and their child respectively, and parental use of other health information sources. A total of 1 068 out of 2 197 questionnaires were returned (response rate of 49%). No association was found between parental use of the Internet to seek health information and the number of consultations within the last 12 months for their child. Variables related to the number of primary care consultations were characteristics of the child (age, medical conditions, homeopathic treatment), parental characteristics (occupation, income, stress level) and consultation of other health information sources (advice from pharmacist, relatives). We did not find any relationship between parental use of the Internet to seek health information and primary care utilisation for children. The Internet seems to be used as a supplement to health services rather than as a replacement.
