Abstract: E-health is a relatively new area in healthcare delivery largely supported by electronic processes and communication. The increasing need to better inform people about health practices and actions has been fingered to be the primary reason for the rise of e-health communication as a means of introducing ideas and information on better health practices and safer solutions to health issues. Driven on the wheels of new media technologies like the internet, it is arguably a way of getting health information without stress and almost without cost. This paper, conducted as a study, focuses on Nigerian University undergraduate students and the extent they utilize e-health resources and subsequently take appropriate health actions. It also explores how useful e-health has been in improving undergraduate students’ health practices in Nigeria. One of the major questions posed in this study is whether Nigerian University undergraduate students are knowledgeable about e-health and as such are th ey exposed to e-health resources? The paper employed the survey research design where 400 respondents were studied across two Universities in South-East Nigeria. Findings revealed that about 60% of Nigerian undergraduate students rely on e-health to take proactive health actions. (More)
