However, there is almost no information about which topics are the most searched, consulted, or shared, or about the main characteristics of pediatric website users. The main aim of this research was to describe the profile of the users of a pediatric website, which topics they searched for, which topics were the most consulted, and which were the most shared. Users’ demographic data were analyzed regarding their use of the Internet to search for information about health. A pediatric website for parents was analyzed. A 26-item questionnaire collected demographical features of the users of the website. Descriptive and analytical analyses were performed. Most participants used general search engines for their health searches, and the most searched keywords were prurigo, barking cough, and laryngitis. The most visited topics were unexplained fever, snots, and laryngitis. The most shared were snots, lipotomy, and dizziness. The users were mainly women (67.8%), with an average age of 38.8 years, and one or two children (89%) with a mean age of 4.6 years. The users who mainly used the Internet for health purposes were women of younger age, and with a higher educational level.Bruno José Nievas-SorianoGracia María Castro-LunaSonia García-DuarteMaría del Carmen González-LópezTesifón Parrón-CarreñoMDPI AGarticleeHealthmHealthtelemedicinepediatricsusersprofileMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11248, p 11248 (2021) |
