The survey found that a 35% of the survey sample had sought health information online. The figure was higher amongst Internet users in the sample (53%). However, health workers, clinics, parents and books were the most frequently mentioned sources of health information for the survey respondents. The findings suggest that there is some potential for the use of the Internet as an information source. (Araba Sey)
