Like nearly everything else in their lives, teens and young adults turn to the Internet for details about health, sexuality, and wellness rather than traditional hotlines, according to a new survey from Ypulse. The online youth-oriented media group Ypulse sponsored the poll, along with the health education nonprofit ISIS, and grassroots resource organization YouthNoise, as part of its ongoing effort to create a Web-based application where teens can go when they have questions about their bodies. It's what young adults already appear to be doing—just going to many different places, rather than one spot. In the poll, more than 50 percent of the 1,600 surveyed who fall between the ages of 13 and 24 admitted to posting anonymous questions on message boards about STDs, or clicking on health site WebMD for questions about HIV, for example, as opposed to picking up the phone and speaking to a professional. Ypulse also asked what young adults would expect in any new applications that offered online help on health issues. Top requests included making sure that information was accurate, easily accessible, and anonymous—but in a way that still allowed users to interact with both professionals and their peers. The survey was just the first step, according to a post on Ypulse's site by founder Anastasia Goodstein. Next up? Searching for funding to help build a prototype to serve up this information and advice in a trusted space. After all, when 41 percent of all young people admit to spending more than 15 hours a week online, as they did in this poll, it makes sense for resource providers to meet them on their turf.
