Grant Activity:
Searching when the stakes are high: better health decisions from search engines
Purpose:
This project aims to help people make better health decisions from search engines by improving the information that search queries return. Google is utilised by 80 per cent of Australians to search health symptoms, despite evidence showing that many often find incorrect and unreliable health information. This project expects to provide new understanding about why and how people fail to find useful health information. Expected outcomes of this project include new models and methods for evaluating high-stakes search and new search technologies to help people find and recognise high quality information to make better health decisions. This should provide significant benefits to Australian health consumers and the healthcare system.
