AI Summary

A study by Marianne Paimre of Tallinn University found that Estonian residents aged 50 and older increasingly search for health information online, yet this does not translate into better health choices. The research, which combined surveys and interviews, revealed that the ability to locate, evaluate, and use health information is strongly tied to a person’s education level, digital skills, and general internet habits. Participants with higher digital literacy and more experience navigating the web were more successful at finding reliable sources and applying the information to their health decisions. The study highlights that simply having access to information is insufficient without the skills to interpret it.
