Interesting read on Consumer E-Health

The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion has a program to expand the reach and impact of consumer e-health tools.

They discuss various ways in which consumer-oriented e-health resources enable consumers, patients and informal caregivers (and has the potential to enable a diverse population) to gather information, make healthcare decisions, communicate with healthcare providers and engage in health-related activities.
They stress that e-health practices have the potential to be a part of the solution to health disparities if appropriate and useful e-health resources are made available to a larger portion of the U. S. population.

Some of the e-health resources they have outlined include searchable health information which applies to Arizona Go Local's efforts.

Some of the their attributes for serving diverse populations include:

Access
Availability
Appropriateness
Acceptability
Applicability of content

Access and availability are significant in terms of making these resources available in libraries and hospitals where those who do not have internet, or need assistance, could benefit.
