ABSTRACT
The arrival of the so called 2.0 communication has led to a change in the ways in which all kinds of information are searched. These changes have affected young adults and adolescents, collectivities that are in the most transcendental moments of their lives and that access resources that offer content and advise on health. This project is an analyses of the perception that exists within the youth and adolescents from the Basque Country and Navarra on the sources of health information, in Basque and Spanish. The project intends to observe the relationship between the preoccupation with health, the way in which the collectivity searches for such information, and the level of satisfaction of such searches. The results, based on a survey that searches the fundamental aspects of the concept of health that the youth from the Basque Autonomous Community and the Regional Government of Navarra have, are exposed. Such aspects include the frequency in which searches on health are preformed, the themes on which the information is searched, the level of reliability, utility, and satisfaction with the found information, and the relationship between health, freedom and happiness.
