“…an umbrella term encompassing the continuum extending from the specific information needs of patients to the broader provision of health information for the lay person"
(Consumer and Patient Health Information Section [CAPHIS] of the Medical Library Association [MLA] at www.caphis.mlanet.org/activities/#purpose)

May encompass information on health promotion, wellness, preventive medicine, and accessing the health care system
Can be actively sought or provided through a campaign targeting a specific health condition

Patients started taking more responsibility for their own health care decisions and acting as their own advocates.
The "baby boom" generation, known for questioning authority, started to reach the age when medical concerns increase.
Health care providers adopted managed care models to curtail health care costs.
The introduction of user-friendly Web browsers in 1995 made both access and dissemination of information on the Internet fast, easy and free.
Computers became affordable

Eighty percent of American internet users--some 113 million adults--have searched for information on at least one of seventeen health topics
Most internet users start at a general search engine when researching health and medical advice online (66%)
72% visited multiple sites Most felt confident in their search

Only a quarter of online health seekers said they always or usually check the source and date
In the 2001 report – half said they did so And, half of the searches on the Internet are
on behalf of someone else

Conversations with doctors are often confusing for me. They might well have warned me about the [procedure], but I didn’t catch it. They carefully explain things to me, and I make like the intelligent, deeply comprehending person I wish I could be. I nod and furrow my brow. The doctors’ words run down one of my deep furrows and keep right on running, out to the foggy sunset…I just can’t focus on all the variables.
