The main purpose of this study was to investigate college students' acquisition of health information by using the Youtube video platform. The following issues were explored: students' level of attention to their own health, access to health and health product information on Youtube, use of health resources, and criteria for using the information, problems encountered, and their expectations on future services of health information. The study employed the survey method to collect research data from undergraduate students at Fu- Jen Catholic University with a 5-point Likert scale to elicit students' reactions toward the response items. A total of 206 valid online data were obtained. Research findings include students moderately concerned their health; they most frequently obtained information by accident; most of them often viewed health product information based on their needs; they had diverse health video information searching behaviors; the criterion the most students used was to meet healthcare-associated criteria; the students felt troubled most with the advertisement, unreliable resources, and misleading information; they expected to have review mechanism for health information. The results of the study also revealed gender differences in many response items (p < 0.05), and provided several suggestions. |
