“…First, as different sex-related online behaviors may serve different goals, knowledge on specific motives of adolescents to engage in such behaviors is necessary. For example, studies investigating online sexual information seeking among adolescents have mainly focused on searching strategies to find sexual health information and the quality of information obtained online (e.g., Buhi, Daley, Fuhrmann, & Smith, 2009;Gray, Klein, Noyce, Sesselberg, & Cantrill, 2005;Simon & Daneback, 2013). However, adolescents may also use the Internet to seek different types of information, such as advice or inspiration for enhancing their sex lives.…”

“…According to studies, a high percentage of youth have used the Internet for health-related purpose [28][29][30]. Eighty-one percent of youth reported that they had checked health information online, and 71% are very likely to search the Internet for information on health; 59% sought health information for family's health online [28]; and 56% of youth had heard of Medline Plus [28].…”

Background: The Internet is widely used among children and adolescents, who have shown a high level of competency with technology. Thus, the Internet has become a great source for supporting youth in their self-care and health-related services. However, few studies have explored adolescents' Internet use in related to health. Objective:The purpose of this systematic literature review is to examine the phenomenon of children and adolescents' health-related Internet use and to identify the gaps in research.Methods: Thirteen studies were selected from a search in major electronic databases: PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. The search terms consisted of "health-related Internet use," "eHealth,""Internet use for health-related purpose," "Web-based resource," and "online resource" combined with "child," "adolescent," "student," "youth," and "teen." The specific ages of children and adolescents were limited to 24-years old and under. Conclusions:This study provides an important understanding of how youth seek information on the Internet and related support systems for their health care. This review also identifies the conceptual and methodological limitation of the identified studies and gaps within the studies for future research. This review suggests important features for potential Web-based health interventions for children and adolescents.

“…The software package enables screen recording and editing, and is often used to create electronic learning presentations or demonstrations (Anderson et al 2008;TechSmith 2011;Power 2011). Moreover, the software has been used for the development of online courseware and has been applied as an unobtrusive tool in the observational analysis of internet use (Birru et al 2004;Buhi et al 2009;Hansen et al 2003;Kuiper et al 2008;Lim 2002;McGrann 2005;Smidt and Hegelheimer 2004). The software allows users to capture all computer screen movements and activities-text inputs, video output, cursor movement, screen changes, etc-while simultaneously recording audio.…”

Web-based surveys are a salient tool in the repertoire of social and behavioral scientists. The increase in web-based surveys is understandable considering the distinct advantages offered, including: (a) lower costs and reduced labor time, (b) ability to directly transfer data into statistical packages (reducing coding errors), (c) customization options enabling more attractive presentation, (d) ability to reduce respondent burden by embedding skip patterns, and (e) access to larger sample sizes in different geographic regions. It is important to note, however, that administering web-based surveys also introduces distinct sources of error (e.g., coverage, sampling and non-response). Regardless of format (e.g., paper-and-pencil or web-based), specific, prescribed steps must be followed when constructing an instrument in order to reduce survey error and lend credence to the data collected before subsequent analysis is performed. One of those crucial stages integral to the pretesting process is cognitive interviewing. Cognitive interviewing is a qualitative process, encompassing two main techniques: think aloud interviewing and verbal probing. Collectively, these two methods seek to (a) produce information on what the respondent is thinking while answering the questions, (b) the cognitive processes used to answer the questions, and (c) how the respondent answers the questions. The purpose of this article is to provide a practical guide outlining how Camtasia, a screen video capture software, can aide and inform the cognitive interview process.

An Observational Study of How Young People Search for Online Sexual Health Information

Abstract: The Internet has become the leading source for sexual health information. Based on their findings, the authors argue that young people must be educated about how Web search engine results are prioritized/displayed and trained to evaluate Web sites for reliable information.
