Methods: This paper summarizes and discusses the published data from the Troms\u00f8 7 Study, conducted between 2015 and 2016, focusing on e-health utilization in the Norwegian population aged 40 and above. Results: More than half of the participants reported using the Internet for health purposes. The main channels for obtaining information were search engines, apps, social media platforms, and online videos. The respondents frequently acted upon the information obtained online, and online health information influenced decisions regarding healthcare utilization and treatment management. Most respondents indicated a positive reaction to the information found online. Conclusions: The Troms\u00f8 7 Study highlights the widespread utilization of e-health in Norway. The study also emphasizes the significant impact of e-health on individuals\u2019 decision-making processes related to their health. The findings suggest that the use of e-health overall does not replace the use of traditional health services, but rather functions as a supplement. Most respondents report positive reactions to online health information, highlighting the importance and relevance of e-health in modern healthcare practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti240353","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]],"date-time":"2024-08-23T08:36:16Z","timestamp":1724402176000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Troms\u00f8 Study: Lessons Learnt About Searching for Information About Health and Illness"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2254-3343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rolf","family":"Wynn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Norway"},{"name":"Department of Education, ICT and Learning, \u00d8stfold University College, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6122-4003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gunnar","family":"Ellingsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Care Sciences, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5523-9762","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorena","family":"Garcia Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departemento Medicina Clinica, Universitas Miguel Hernandez, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1806-8575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vicente","family":"Traver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITACA, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2893-6989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustav","family":"Bellika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Centre for e-Health Research, University Hospital of North Norway, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5689-5152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunday O.","family":"Oyeyemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7188-550X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elia","family":"Gabarron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education, ICT and Learning, \u00d8stfold University College, Norway"},{"name":"Norwegian Centre for e-Health Research, University Hospital of North Norway, Norway"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Digital Health and Informatics Innovations for Sustainable Health Care Systems"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI240353","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]],"date-time":"2024-08-23T08:36:17Z","timestamp":1724402177000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI240353"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]]},"ISBN":["9781643685335"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti240353","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0926-9630"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1879-8365"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]]}}}
