Schleudertrauma und Werther-Effekt – das Potenzial von Google Insights for Search für die medizinische Forschung und öffentliche Gesundheit

Zusammenfassung

Krankheitsverhalten wird mit durch kulturelle, situative und persönliche Eigenheiten beeinflusst. Suchstatistiken im World Wide Web über Internetapplikationen wie Google Insights for Search haben das Potenzial, die Verteilung psychischer Störungen besser untersuchen, so unser Verständnis soziokultureller Prägungen wie psychophänomenologische Trends besser verstehen zu helfen und insgesamt einen bemerkenswerten Beitrag zur medizinischen Forschung wie öffentlichen Gesundheit leisten zu können.

Abstract

Illness behaviour involves cultural, situational and personal predispositions. World Wide Web search statistics provided by internet applications like Google Insights for Search have the potential to facilitate our research on the distribution of mental disorders, our understanding of both sociocultural imprintings and trends in psychophenomenology and could make a remarkable contribution to medical research and public health.
