Are adolescents able to search the Internet for accurate health related information? Do adolescents differ by age or gender in their Internet searching strategies or in their methods of evaluating the information they receive? After a week, can they remember the information they found? To answer these questions, sixty nine junior high school students, aged 10 to 15, were asked to search the Internet for information regarding cancer prevention. Adolescents' Internet search results and their methods of searching were analyzed to determine whether they can successfully gather disease prevention information.

520 $a Are adolescents able to search the Internet for accurate health related information? Do adolescents differ by age or gender in their Internet searching strategies or in their methods of evaluating the information they receive? After a week, can they remember the information they found? To answer these questions, sixty nine junior high school students, aged 10 to 15, were asked to search the Internet for information regarding cancer prevention. Adolescents' Internet search results and their methods of searching were analyzed to determine whether they can successfully gather disease prevention information.
520 $a Subjects were evaluated by the number and quality of web sites that they visited during a 30-minute search period, by the searching methods they used to find pertinent information, and by the appropriateness of their responses to our request to find information on cancer prevention. Results showed that seventh graders visited a significantly greater number of web sites than ninth graders, while ninth graders were better able to focus their searching, in that they identified a greater number of correct factors about cancer prevention. (The students' search results were evaluated against information provided by the National Cancer Institute, www.cancernet.nci.nih.gov.) Results also showed that ninth graders used search engines that yielded more cancer prevention information than seventh graders. Also, ninth graders reported to notice whether they visited sites that ended in ".gov" or ".org" more frequently than the seventh graders reported during their Internet searches. (Internet endings like ".gov" or ".org" are commonly recognized as indicia of reliability). Based on the results, we hypothesized that students who are more skeptical of the information that is available on the Internet will gather more accurate information, regardless of gender, aptitude, previous media use, or quality of web site visited.
