Males have traditionally been more active Internet users than females; however, research indicates females are more likely to seek health information online. This meta-analysis explores the disparity, the role of age and relationship status, and strategies to improve communication. Results indicate differences are less marked than singular studies suggest. Further, males and females are more likely to use the Internet than other resources to find health information; next, they most often seek information from other individuals rather than from impersonal resources. Findings support increasing focus on development of resources that use evolving capabilities for health information personalization while protecting privacy.

“…DeLone and McLean (1992) presented a user satisfaction model based on the notion that the quality of the system such as information and technical quality affects user satisfaction. Findings concerning the effect of the quality of attributes of a system on user satisfaction can be applied to maximize system value by considering these from the user's perspective (Cho & Hong, 2013).…”

“…It was also possible that male students did not pay sufficient attention to visual information when it was given along with text. Cho and Hong (2013) found that women were more likely to consider visual design quality as an important factor to determine their satisfaction with a blog. In addition, women were more influenced by colour aesthetics than men, whereas men were more influenced by layout aesthetics in judging the visual design quality of a blog.…”

Background: Health message design plays an important role in knowledge acquisition and changes in attitudes towards a nutrient or substance, such as caffeine. To foster the effectiveness of health education, greater attention should be paid to the gist-based design of health messages that include visual representations. Fuzzy-trace theory indicates that gist knowledge can be influential in decision-making about health and medical problems. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of different graphic types (i.e. gist, verbatim and decoration) on knowledge of gist and verbatim messages, which may in turn influence attitudes and intentions towards caffeine control. Method: Middle school students (n = 315) in South Korea individually studied reading materials on caffeine under three research conditions with respect to graphic types. Results: This study found an interaction effect between sex and graphic types when it came to student perceptions of gist representation and the visual design of graphics. Graphic types also significantly influenced gist knowledge but not verbatim knowledge. Gist and verbatim graphics were more effective in acquiring gist knowledge about caffeine control than decorative graphics. In addition, gist knowledge significantly influenced attitudes and intentions towards caffeine control. Conclusion: The main finding of this study is the importance of acquiring gist knowledge from health messages, which can be enhanced through the effective use of visual representations.
