The purpose of a study published in the June issue of Chronic Diseases and Injuries in Canada was to quantify the frequency and timing of Canadians' Internet searches for information on modifying cancer prevention-related behavioural risk factors, such as smoking, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet. The authors conclude that key stakeholders in cancer prevention need to identify knowledge translation priorities and work with health agencies to develop evidence-based strategies to support this Internet-facilitated behaviour change.
