Abstract

Whether you like it or not, people are getting a lot of their health and medicine information from the Internet. Some sources of information, such as health care organizations, provide resources for individuals that can help support productive conversations with providers. Internet-obtained health materials can improve the patient-provider relationship if the patient discusses what they have obtained with the provider. This dialog can lead to more engaged health decision-making.
