The number of adults who turn to the Internet for health information has nearly doubled in the past two years, from 31% to 60%, according to a study. That puts the Internet in a tie for third place (with books and print materials) as the source adults most often turn to for health information.
At the top, 86% of those surveyed say they most often consult a health care professional, and 68% say they consult their family or friends first.
