Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet (JCHI)

The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet covers the fields of consumer health information, patient education, and health literacy. Of interest are the practical aspects of providing programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the quality health information they need, with a focus on electronic and Internet-related information. The journal is aimed at medical and public librarians who provide health information to the general public and patients, and at librarians and health care personnel who are involved with patient education and health literacy. Research articles are of interest so long as they have practical application or lessons learned. Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that providers of health information programs and services, including librarians in all settings and health educators, be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information. To that end, this valuable journal focuses on consumer health information programs and services that help guide consumers to quality health information.
