- W3206485037 abstract "Medical blogs have become valuable information sources for patients and caregivers. Most research has focused on patients' creation of blogs as therapy. But we know less about how these blogs affect their readers and what format of information influences readers to take preventative health actions.This study aimed to identify how reading patient medical blogs influences readers' perceived health risk and their intentions to engage in preventative health actions. Further, we aimed to examine the format of the medical blog and the reader's response.We surveyed 99 university participants and a general-population, online panel of 167 participants. Both studies randomly assigned participants to conditions and measured blog evaluation, intentions for preventative health action, and evaluation of health risk and beliefs, and allowed open-ended comments. The second study used a different sample and added a control condition. A third study used a convenience sample of blog readers to evaluate the link between reading medical blogs and taking preventative health action.Across 3 studies, participants indicated a desire to take future preventative health action after reading patient blogs. Studies 1 and 2 used experimental scenario-based designs, while Study 3 employed a qualitative design with real blog readers. The 2 experimental studies showed that the type of blog impacted intentions to engage in future preventative health actions (Study 1: F2,96=6.08, P=.003; Study 2: F3,166=2.59, P=.06), with a statistical blog being most effective in both studies and a personal narrative blog showing similar effectiveness in Study 2, contrary to some prior research. The readers' perceptions of their own health risk did not impact the relationship between the blog type and health intentions. In contrast, in one study, participants' judgments about the barriers they might face to accessing care improved the fit of the model (F2,95=13.57, P<.001). In Study 3's sample of medical blog readers, 53% (24/45) reported taking preventative health action after reading a health blog, including performing a self-check, asking a doctor about their health risk, or requesting a screening test. Additionally, these readers expressed that they read the blogs to follow the author (patient) and to learn general health information. All studies demonstrated the blogs were somewhat sad and emotional but also informative and well-written. They noted that the blogs made them appreciate life more and motivated them to consider taking some action regarding their health.Reading patient blogs influences intentions to take future health actions. However, blog formats show different efficacy, and the readers' disease risk perceptions do not. Physicians, medical practitioners, and health organizations may find it useful to curate or promote selected medical blogs to influence patient behavior." @default.
