Mail: Internet
Sibling Mail: Internet Module OVERVIEW The Internet Module, although newly introduced to the 2011 mail survey, is largely composed of Internet-oriented survey items drawn from the Social and Civic Participation and Health Behaviors sections of the 2005 questionnaire. Items inquiring about the reasons Internet access was first obtained for the participant's household, the frequency with which the participant uses e-mail to correspond with various people, and the amount of time they spend using the Internet and e-mail in a typical week have been repeated. Additionally, items calling for information about the participant's usage of the Internet for researching personal health and healthcare - originally introduced during the 2005 mail survey - have been expanded upon to include questions about their evaluations and perceptions of searching for health information online and their use of the Internet to contact or research the quality of doctors' offices. For further data on the presence and usage of a computer in the participant's household and/or the participant's reasons for not having a computer or the Internet, see also the CAPI administered 2011 Internet Use Module. BRIEF VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS Variable ranges reference dataset/codebook order and are not necessarily alphabetical. _____________________________________________________________________ PZ177RER: Does the Participant's Household Have Internet Access?
