To quantify and characterize the use of the Internet to search for information about medicines.
A random sample of subjects was interviewed in the city of Bordeaux (France) in November 2012 regarding their use of the Internet to find information on medicines.
Among 103 interviewed subjects (median age: 38 years; 53.4% of men), 48 (46.6%) reported using the Internet to find information about medicines (58.3% of women). Two-thirds (66.7%) declared visiting consumer forums. However, nearly 60% reported to first consult a health professional. Three subjects had already bought medicines on the web and half (52.0%) of those who never made a purchase on the Internet would not trust the quality of the medicine.
Even if purchasing medicines on the web remains rare, this media is frequently used to find information on medicines and most often on websites of questionable quality.
量化并描述利用互联网搜索药品信息的情况。
2012年11月，在法国波尔多市对随机抽取的受试者进行访谈，了解他们利用互联网查找药品信息的情况。
在103名接受访谈的受试者中（年龄中位数：38岁；男性占53.4%），48人（46.6%）报告利用互联网查找药品信息（女性占58.3%）。三分之二（66.7%）的人宣称访问过消费者论坛。然而，近60%的人报告首先会咨询医疗专业人员。有3名受试者曾在网上购买过药品，而在互联网上从未购买过药品的人中有一半（52.0%）不信任药品质量。
即使在网上购买药品的情况仍然少见，但这种媒介经常被用于查找药品信息，而且大多是在质量存疑的网站上查找。
