People in Spain seeking health information online, by formal education

The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people with a low, medium, and high formal education level. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
In 2020, 50 percent of users with low formal education in Spain used the internet to search for health information. Among people with medium formal education the share is 23 percent higher, amounting to 73. The highest share of users accessing such information can usually be found among users with a high degree of formal education. According to the survey 81 percent of users in Spain with a high degree of formal education do search for health advice online.
