Routledge Digital Health Information for the Consumer - Evidence & Policy

This comprehensive research-based book examines how health consumers engage with digital health information across multiple platforms. Drawing from the first major nationwide evaluation of digital health information platforms in the UK, the authors provide an in-depth analysis of usage patterns and impact across three key ICT platforms: the internet, touch-screen kiosks, and digital interactive television. The study reveals how consumer behaviour varies by platform type and user demographics, offering valuable insights into health information seeking online. This book serves as an essential reference for understanding digital health literacy, consumer preferences, and the practical implications of different delivery methods for health information systems. Ideal for researchers, policy makers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of digital technology and health communication.
