This survey that include approximately 8000 respondents investigated patterns of health-related Internet use, its consequences, and citizens' expectations concerning their physician’s provision of e-health services. The users of Internet health services differ from the general population when it comes to health and demographic variables. The most common way to use the Internet in health matters is to read information, second comes using the net to decide whether to see a doctor and to prepare for and follow up on doctors' appointments. Hence, health-related use of the Internet does affect patients' use of other health services, but it would appear to supplement rather than to replace other health services.
