Abstract
Objective: In this era, the internet becomes a common source of health information worldwide. In this study, we understand the influence of the internet on health-seeking behavior among university students in Pakistan. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted during this study. A random sample of university students (n=300, mean=28.97 and SD= 4.580) participated in this survey. Results: This study had good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.8). In addition, eHealth is found to be associated with the Healthcare provider’s degree program, semester and age, as well as they, are important in health information seeking behavior. Conclusion: This study supports that students’ health seeking behavior using the internet is an important part of making
