Public interest in online searching of asthma information: insights from a Google trends analysis
There are significant differences in how people search for and access asthma information based on their language and regional context. In English-speaking countries, searches tend to focus on broader asthma-related topics like pollution and infections, likely due to the availability of comprehensive asthma resources. In contrast, Persian speakers prioritize understanding specific aspects of asthma-like symptoms, medications, and complementary treatments. To address these divergent information needs, health organizations should tailor content to these divergent needs.
