000000805 520__ $$aAs the availability of health information on the Internet continues to grow rapidly, it is essential to ensure that all groups within society can access and utilize this valuable resource. The increase in online health information has coincided with a rise in its use, alongside more traditional methods of obtaining health information. Many reports have highlighted this trend. However, there has been limited research on how frequently individuals with visual impairments use these online resources and their experiences when searching for health information. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the experiences of people with visual impairments in Oregon as they seek health information online.
