Consumer Survey from the National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation's medical research agency, is asking consumers to help with a research project. According to their statement, the point of the project is to help them gain "insight and better understanding of the health information needs and information-seeking behaviors of NIH health consumer audiences." Our answers will help them provide "health, medical, and scientific information to a broader variety of audiences."
Take the NIH online survey, and your answers will help them do a better job of providing health information for all of us. For people in your family who don't have internet access, you can print out the survey and they can return the hard copy to the NIH by mail.
While I'm on the topic of "information seeking," here are some tips I posted a few months ago for how to judge the quality of a medical web site.
