How often do you engage in digital media for health?

A 2011 Health Barometer from Mashable and the Social Good Summit.

One of the interesting graphics is a representation of how often people around the world (actually, only 12 countries) use digital media for information about health. Other interesting sections include changes in health behaviour and general relationships with demographics. No stats presented, but then, this is not for an audience looking for p-values. Quite interesting.
