With millions of people accessing health information online, there is mounting concern that unreliable information is pushing patient demand for unnecessary diagnostic testing or inappropriate treatment. To explore the role of the Internet in emergent healthseeking models, we turn to the NET Generation. University students (age 18-25) are engaged in a life transition, formulating life patterns which include making health care decisions. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, this article offers a preliminary understanding of the extent to which online health information is penetrating illness conceptions and health-seeking behaviors of male and female students. It also suggests the potential need for intervention to reduce burdens on our health care system
