Cyberchondria, Digital Health, and Digital Health Literacy : A Correlational Study

Cyberchondria is a phenomenon characterised by anxiety and distress while searching for health information online. This research investigated the associations between cyberchondria and the use of various types of digital health (e.g., health websites, social media, etc.), to find out if the type of digital health influences the severity of cyberchondria experiences. Moreover, the moderating effects of digital health literacy skills on these associations were examined.
