TEENS JOIN BOOMERS IN SEARCHING HEALTH ISSUES ONLINE
Think it's only baby boomers visiting health and wellness resources online? Not according to a study that shows that over 50% of young people ages 13-24 are accessing health and wellness information on the Internet. Youth are also using confessional sites and posting anonymously on message boards to get personal advice more often than traditional support services such as phone hotlines.
