Communicating Health Messages in the Digital Age

This project/paper will compare effects of past technologies on society to the cultural transformations from today's greatest technology, the Internet. Internet habits of the college age culture are researched as well as a look at how today's students use the Internet in obtaining and utilizing health care information found on the web. This research, including a survey of social media use in university health centers across the United States and a survey of current university students' website usage, will assist in the case study of the redesign of a university health center website. Current issues will be corrected while fulfilling the needs of the students, the university community, and the requirements of the health center, and staying within university guidelines.
