Title
Re-visiting the digital divide: health information seeking in a pre-natal program in a minority urban health center
Abstract
As digital technology permeates contemporary life, questions about the ways in which people access digital resources continue to be raised. As the Pew studies show, health information remains a topic frequently sought on the Internet, but few who seek health information check the credibility or authority of the information they find (http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2009/8-The-Social-Life-of-Health-Information.aspx). More important from a public health perspective, is that finding information---even good information---is not sufficient to change behavior (Elder, Ayala, & Harris, 1999; Elbel, Kersh, Brescoll, & Dixon, 2009).
