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.

Abstract

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.
