Definition and Characteristics of HISB
CHISB is the intended behavior of an individual
to satisfy perceived needs for health information
(Johnson, 1997). Therefore, passive searching for health
information, such as accidental exposure of media or
scanning, is not regarded as HISB (Shim et al., 2006).
HISB is connected with various individual and contextual

mutually interdependent manner. Various information
channels, mostly classified as people (e.g., healthcare
provider, family, and friends) or media (television, radio,
newspaper, book, and magazine), are included in the
process of HISBs. Often, plural channels are employed to
verify the adequacy of the information collected (Muha,
1998). Meanwhile, the use of the Internet has rapidly
increased due to the easy access to a vast information pool
it provides (Viswanath et al., 2007). In fact, two thirds of
adults in the U.S. use the Internet as the main source of
