Abstract
Being able to receive and pro vide information during medical visits affects patient satisfaction with care more than any socio- demographic characteristic of patients. However, studies reveal little patient participation in information exchange during medical interactions, as well as a perception that little informa tion is provided by practitioners. The research in this field is reviewed, and efforts to increase patients' information-seeking skills are discussed.Keywords
