The explosion in the use of the Internet is transforming the access and delivery of health information. Consumers now have the same medical information that is currently available to providers and this availability has the potential to significantly change the relationship between patient and provider, alter the ways patients and providers communicate and help create a consumer base of power in health policy and decision making. The health consumer can now access electronic information at any time, from home or office, day or night, and id no longer restricted to traditional avenues of communications talking to health care professionals, friends or colleagues. Coupled with current political efforts to "wire: the nation it will be essential to examine the role computers will play in this century and the impact that this information delivery system will have on health education for consumers, their providers, and health care delivery systems. This research project is a cross-sectional study examining the relationship between the use of Internet health information by people newly diagnosed with cancer and patient task behavior and perceived self efficacy. Specific variables studied will include overall descriptive characteristics of those using Internet health information, perceived patient behavior in patient-provider communication and perceived self efficacy coping with disease. These variables will be compared among, 1. Direct users-people using the Internet themselves; 2. Indirect Users-people receiving Internet health information from friends or family members; and, 3. Non-Users- people not using the Internet health information. The study will utilize the Cancer Information Service (CIS) Atlantic Office, located at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, PA. Participants (N=600) will be recruited from persons calling the 1-800-4-Cancer telephone service who indicate that they, 1. are 18 years or older; 2. have been newly diagnosed with cancer; and, 3. have not begun cancer treatment. For those who consent to be in the study, follow up phone interviews will be made six to eight weeks after initial contact to assess impact of the use of Internet on perceived patient task behavior and self efficacy.

使用互联网的爆炸正在改变健康信息的访问和交付。现在，消费者拥有与目前可用于提供者相同的医疗信息，并且这种可用性有可能显着改变患者与提供者之间的关系，改变患者和提供者的交流方式，并帮助建立卫生政策和决策的消费者基础。现在，健康消费者可以随时从家庭或办公室（白天或晚上）访问电子信息，并且ID不再仅限于传统的通信途径与医疗保健专业人员，朋友或同事交谈。再加上当前的政治努力“电线：国家必须检查计算机在本世纪将扮演的角色，以及该信息交付系统对消费者，他们的提供者和医疗保健提供系统的健康教育对健康教育的影响。该研究项目是一项横断面研究，研究了互联网健康信息在互联网上进行互联网诊断和跨性别的自我启动性的互联网健康信息之间的关系，包括癌症的特征性和特定型号。在患者提供的疾病的情况下，将对这些变量进行了感知的信息。宾夕法尼亚州费城。参与者（n = 600）将是从致电1-800-4-Cancer电话服务的人员中招募的，他们指出他们1岁以上； 2。已被新诊断为癌症； 3。尚未开始癌症治疗。对于那些同意参加研究的人，初次联系后六到八周进行后续电话访谈，以评估使用互联网对感知到的患者任务行为和自我效能的影响。
