Health literature is defined as people's ability to use emerging ICTs to improve and enable health and healthcare. The aim of this study was to investigate whether literacy differences in the search for information on the Internet are reduced or increased. The study focused on (1) traditional digital variables, such as sociodemographic characteristics, digital access and digital literacy, (2) processes for the investigation of information, and (3) results for use of the Internet to inform health. This study has documented high and low difference in eHealth literacy between respondents in terms of background attributes, information consumption, and search results. The link between eHealth literacy and background characteristics shows that the Internet strengthens the existing social differences. The more extensive and sophisticated usage of the Internet and the subsequent increase in eHealth literacy creates new inequalities in the field of digital health information. The risky and needy groups need to be educated (e.g. chronically ill) and technology designed to fit more consumers.
