Description
Lorie Donelle, Brad Hiebert, and Jodi Hall survey new parents on phone health tools and web skills in a 2024 study. During COVID-19, parents leaned on online health sources to care for babies while clinics locked down. What they could find and judge online became a core parenting skill.
A survey in Ontario drew 151 parents, mostly mothers with strong schooling and incomes. They reported steady, heavy online use tied to parenting. The study maps their self-rated skill at finding and weighing health claims, and which traits track with sharper use. Gaps in that skill matter for how health advice should be shared.
