An offshoot of the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) is the JMIR Infodemiology "Focusing on determinants and distribution of health information and misinformation on the internet, and its effect on public and individual health."
An example of a recent article is :
Garrett, C., Qiao, S. & Li, X. (2024). The Role of Social Media in Knowledge, Perceptions, and Self-Reported Adherence Toward COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines: Cross-Sectional Study.
JMIR Infodemiology, 4, article e44395. https://doi.org/10.2196/44395
JMIR Infodemiology also has a call out (deadline 30 April 2024|) for a special issue on Exploring the Intersection Between Health Information, Disinformation, and Generative AI Technologies
The Journal of Medical Internet Research also still deals with information behaviour in a health context e.g.
Jia, C. & Li, P. (2024). Generation Z’s Health Information Avoidance Behavior: Insights From Focus Group Discussions. Journal of Medical Internet Research, 26, article e54107 https://doi.org/10.2196/54107. "This study looks
at the phenomenon of health information avoidance among Generation Z,
who form a representative cohort of active web users in this era. Their
findings support several key components of the planned risk information
avoidance model and has interesting implications for understanding young
users’ information avoidance behaviors in both academia and practice." They identified social, cognitive and emotional factors for information avoidance.
