To describe Internet sources used by adolescents to consult health information and their sociodemographic characteristics, as well as to identify the variables that influence the choice of Internet site.
Cross-sectional descriptive study. Survey adapted from the questionnaire validated by Rideout.
Adolescents aged 12-18 from 4schools in rural municipalities.
The study included a total of 405 adolescents, of whom 51.6% were female, age 14.9 ± 1.2 years. Most of them (87.25%) live with both parents, and 93.6% have computers at home, with 45.2% in their rooms, and a mean of 2.1 computers/home. The large majority (85.2%) have Internet at home, with 76.3% in their room. A total of 53.8% sought health information 0.71 ± 0.91 h/week, seeking mainly information on: cancer (89.9%), addictions (67.7%), STIs and HIV (49.6%), pregnancies/contraception (21, 5%), mental illness (40%), heart disease and diabetes mellitus (53.6%), and eating disorders (39.3%). Google was chosen by 63.2%, and only 11.9% chose medical websites. Information was shared on social networks by 12.8% (70.3% Facebook). The information found led to a change of behaviour in 70.7%. Just over half (56.05%) preferred to use the Internet for: speed, 34.8%, privacy, 15.8%, reliability, 13.6%, and more information, 17.6%.
Adolescents seek information mainly through Google, with no knowledge of systems that accredit content quality, but consider it useful and reliable, changing their behaviour patterns according to the information found. All this carries a risk in this age group with very sensitive characteristics. Therefore, we believe that we should continue along the line of designing other alternative communication channels adapted to their current reality.
描述青少年用于查询健康信息的互联网来源及其社会人口学特征，并确定影响互联网网站选择的变量。
横断面描述性研究。采用经赖德奥特验证的问卷改编的调查。
来自农村市镇4所学校的12 - 18岁青少年。
该研究共纳入405名青少年，其中51.6%为女性，年龄14.9±1.2岁。他们中的大多数（87.25%）与父母双方同住，93.6%的家庭拥有电脑，45.2%的电脑在他们自己房间，平均每家2.1台电脑。绝大多数（85.2%）家里有互联网，76.3%在他们自己房间。共有53.8%的人每周花0.71±0.91小时查询健康信息，主要查询的信息包括：癌症（89.9%）、成瘾（67.7%）、性传播感染和艾滋病毒（49.6%）、怀孕/避孕（21.5%）、精神疾病（40%）、心脏病和糖尿病（53.6%）以及饮食失调（39.3%）。63.2%的人选择谷歌，只有11.9%的人选择医学网站。12.8%的人在社交网络上分享信息（70.3%在脸书）。所获取的信息导致70.7%的人行为发生改变。略超过一半（56.05%）的人更喜欢使用互联网是因为：速度快（34.8%）、隐私性好（15.8%）、可靠性高（13.6%）以及信息更多（17.6%）。
青少年主要通过谷歌查询信息，不了解认证内容质量的系统，但认为其有用且可靠，并根据所获取的信息改变行为模式。在这个具有非常敏感特征的年龄组中，所有这些都存在风险。因此，我们认为应该继续沿着设计适合他们当前实际情况的其他替代性沟通渠道的方向前进。
