Abstract
This study examined the association between health information seeking and confidence to manage health among men using multiple binary logistic regressions. Study data were drawn from the 2007 Health Tracking Household Survey. The analytical sample included 6,478 men, 18 years and older. Health information seeking was associated with lower odds of confidence to follow through on medical care needed at home. African American and Hispanic men had lower odds than white men to agree to be confident to follow through on medical care needed at home. Hispanic men also had lower odds than white men to agree to be confident to know when to seek medical care and when they can handle themselves.
