Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The influences of patients’ Internet health-information seeking on the physician-patient relationship, and on disparities in health care, are debated with little evidence to inform the issues. Access to the Internet is associated with socioeconomic status. However, whether access to Internet-based health information reduces disparities in health care is unknown. Even less is known about these issues in clinical oncology interactions, where being informed is especially critical to decision making. This study (a) analyzes relationships between patients’ reports of post-diagnosis use of the Internet for cancer information and relational features of communication with oncologists (e.g., closeness, control, language as coded from videotapes), patients’ use of other sources of information about cancer (e.g., print, electronic, and interpersonal sources), patients’ self-assessments of their specialized knowledge (e.g., behavioral science, medicine, natural sciences); and (b) investigates the role of patients’ socioeconomic status in mediating those relationships.
