효과적인 건강예보제의 전략적 수행을 위해 필요한 전략적 요소를 찾아, 건강 예보제에 적용할 수 있도록 제안하는 것을 목표로 한다. 전반적인 건강정보의 질적 측면 평가결과로는 건강정보의 과학적 근거여부가 $3.7\pm0.5$점으로 가장 높았고, 충분히 쉽게 이해 가능하다가 $3.6\pm0.5$점, 국민들의 관심 반영 정도 $3.5\pm0.5$점 순이었으며, 국민들의 필요에 충분한 내용을 포함하고 있는지에 대한 여부는 $2.9\pm0.6$점으로 가장 낮은 점수를 보였다. 지금까지의 건강예보제가 절대적 생산량이 부족하고, 건강정보에 관한 권위가 제한되어 있었으며, 예측정보의 생산과 적용에 대한 방법론적인 한계 등의 이유로 실패했던 것을 분석해 볼 때 지금 건강예보제 보완을 위해 필요한 점은, 충분한 정보 제공과 정보 수집의 정기성 등이 시급하다고 할 수 있다. 현재 전염병 웹보고 시스템과 같은 온라인상으로 접할 수 있는 서비스를 제공하고 있지만, 이에 대한 홍보가 부족하고 정보 또한 신뢰성을 확고히 얻고 있지 못하기 때문에 전염병에 국한되어 있는 정보 제공이 아닌 일반적인 건강상식과 관련된 분야로 정보 제공의 영역을 확장시켜야 할 것이다. 또한 정보 수집 방법을 명확히 공고하여, 공감대를 형성할 수 있어야 하며, 분류 체계를 명확히 하여, 개개인이 원하는 정보를 찾아 볼 수 있도록 데이터베이스 작업이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Historically, mothers have been noted as active health information seekers, reflecting their roles as health mangers and caregivers for their family members. However, previous studies have focused on health-related information behavior among mothers in native populations or mothers of children with specific diagnoses. To fill this research gap, this study focused on health information behavior among mothers of healthy infants and toddlers. Using Wilson's (1997) information-seeking model, this study aimed to uncover the relationships between mothers' demographic characteristics and their health information source use. Online surveys were completed by 851 mothers: 255 U.S.-born mothers, 296 Korean-born mothers, and 300 Korean immigrant mothers living in the United States. Results indicated that there were statistically significant relationships between mothers' nine demographic characteristics (mother's age, education level, household income, employment status, the number of children, years living in the U.S. (or Korea), fluency in speaking English, size of household, housing status) and their health information source use. Based on the results, the implications for information professionals at diverse organizations are discussed when they provide health information services to this specific population.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine health information seeking behavior of people with cancer in terms of information seeking or avoiding behavior and the differences of the two groups in demographic and disease variables. Methods: Data were collected from October 21 to December 5 in 2013 from out-patient clinics of a university affiliated hospital in Suwon, Korea. One hundred (100) patients with cancer were participated in this study. Health Information National Trends Survey Questionnaires (National Cancer Institute, 2007) was used. Results: Three quarters (n=77) of the participants were in health information seeking group while 23% were in health information avoiding group. Participants who were female, higher education were more likely to seek health information than their counter parts. Among participants, a considerable number of cancer patients intentionally avoided information due to either the lack of accessibility of information source or the lack of credibility of information from the sources. Conclusion: Significant differences in gender and educational level were found in the two groups. Different approaches for both groups were necessary to increase information seeking behavior. And barriers of the information avoiding group should be considered in designing interventions to fill the gap between seekers and avoiders.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the quality of online health information related to infants and preschoolers accessible through mobile applications and websites. Methods: Using combinations of the terms 'infant', 'preschooler', and 'health' as the main keyword or categories, the researchers searched relevant mobile applications and websites in Korean application markets and popular search engines. Twelve mobile application and 14 websites were finally selected according to our inclusion criteria and evaluated using DISCERN instrument. Results: The overall quality score of online health information available through mobile applications was 2.00 of 5 points, the reliability score was 2.15, and the quality score was 1.76. The overall quality score of online health information available through websites was 2.29, the reliability score was 2.40, and the quality score was 1.82. Conclusion: The quality of online health information related to young children was found to be low and to have potentially significant drawbacks according to DISCERN criteria. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a system to evaluate and regulate the quality of online health information. Additionally, factors that readers can use to judge the quality of health information, such as references and the benefit versus risks of the information, should be provided.
