More consumers making their own diagnoses online.
The Internet is becoming a primary resource for people who are looking for
health information, a study has found.
Around 7.6 percent -- approximately 3.2 million -- of Internet users view
health category sites, including general health and pharmacy destinations,
according to independent research conducted by Feedback Research, a
division of the Claria Corporation.
Feedback divided the Web sites into three specific categories: drug
manufacturers, drug brands and general health. The study was conducted
from May 1 to August 1, 2004.
