A random sample of adults (n = 199, mean 23.75 years, SD 2.87) participated in a cross-sectional, a survey that included the eHealth literacy scale (eHEALS) assessed use of Web 2.0 for health information. Collected data were analyzed using a descriptive statistical method and t-tests. Finally logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine associations between sociodemographic, social determinants, and use of Web 2.0 for seeking and sharing health information. Almost 74% of older Web 2.0 users (147/199, 73.9%) reported using popular Web 2.0 websites, such as Facebook and Twitter, to find and share health information.

摘要

Web 2.0已成为领先的健康交流平台，并将继续吸引年轻用户；因此，本研究的目的是了解Web 2.0对孟加拉国大学生健康信息寻求行为的影响。一个由成年人组成的随机样本（n = 199，平均年龄23.75岁，标准差2.87）参与了一项横断面调查，该调查包括电子健康素养量表（eHEALS），评估了使用Web 2.0获取健康信息的情况。收集的数据采用描述性统计方法和t检验进行分析。最后进行逻辑回归分析，以确定社会人口统计学、社会决定因素与使用Web 2.0寻求和分享健康信息之间的关联。近74%的Web 2.0老用户（147/199，73.9%）报告称使用过Facebook和Twitter等流行的Web 2.0网站来查找和分享健康信息。当前研究支持当前基于网络的健康信息寻求和分享行为会影响与健康相关的决策。
