Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The present article starts from the premise that the debate about the health system offers a privileged perspective to address themes that are at the intersection of media discourse, public health policies, institutions and organizations in the field of medical and social issues. ”What is the influence of the Internet on the health behavior of Romanian students?”– this was the research question at the basis of the present article. A survey on a sample 330 students from the University of Bucharest was made in order to offer an answer. The findings suggest that the Internet plays an important role in modelling healthy behaviors of Romanian students.
