SIBIS (Statistical Indicators Benchmarking the Information Society) was one of the projects of the "Information Society Programme" of the European Commission (IST-2000-26276) which was running from January 2001 to September 2003. SIBIS has developed innovative information society indicators to take account of the rapidly changing nature of modern societies and to enable the benchmarking of progress in EU Member States. One of the topics addressed in the survey was the eHealth sector. The indicators have been tested and piloted in representative population surveys in all (in those days 15) EU Member States, 10 Acceding and Candidate countries, Switzerland and the USA. The indicators developed and data obtained through the survey questionnaire relate to: - the search of health related information on the Internet,
- the suitability of the information for the needs of the citizen,
- language issues (use of relevant websites identified in other languages than mother tongue),
- reasons for searching health-related information on the Internet, and
- seeking a second opinion on own, a family member's or a friend's medical diagnosis.
Data on these indicators are freely available on the website and as part of project publications (e.g. reports and Statistics Pocketbook). An SPSS file of the survey data is made available and is send on request.
