NCI Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS)

NCI Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) Welcome to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) Fac

This is the official account of the NCI's Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). HINTS is a national survey uniquely dedicated to learning how people find, use, & understand health information. HINTS was developed by the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and was created to monitor changes in the rapidly evolving field of

health communication. The NCI fielded the first HINTS in 2002 and 2003, surveying a representative national sample of the American public, with an over-sampling of key understood ethnic and minority populations. The baseline survey collected data on the public’s use of mass media, new media, and personal channels. It also monitored the public’s knowledge and acceptance of healthy living guidelines. Taken together, the components of the first HINTS captured an invaluable snapshot of how adults use the information resources around them to lead healthier lives. Subsequent surveys followed in 2005 (5,586 Americans surveyed) and 2008 (7,674 Americans surveyed).
