Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In order to provide insights about cancer patients’ online information seeking behaviors, the present study analyzes individuals’ transaction log data and reports on how demographics, disease-related factors, and psychosocial needs predict patterns of service use within a particular Interactive Health Communication System (IHCS). Study sample included 294 recently diagnosed breast cancer patients. Data included pretest survey scores of demographic, disease-related, and psychosocial factors and automatically collected IHCS use data over the 4-month intervention. Statistical analyses correlated pre-test survey scores with subsequent, specific types of IHCS service usage. Patterns of online cancer information seeking differed according to the patients’ characteristics, suggesting that patients seek IHCS information and services that might help them most. Results of this study can inform more effective resource development for future eHealth applications.
