Young people's health is important. Therefore, possibilities in the use of the Internet for improving young people's health have been explored by researchers. This study examined whether two subscales of the Health Belief Model, perceived severity and perceived susceptibility, are associated with the usage of health information inquiry through the Internet. The proposed model was empirically investigated by using survey data collected from 120 young people. Overall, the obtained results show that perceived susceptibility and perceived severity were found to be significant predictors of young people's acceptance of health information inquiry. 青年的健康是非常重要的。因此，應用網際網路以促進青年健康的可行性，在近年來有諸多的研究者予以探討。本研究主要探討健康信念模式的二個因素，罹患性認知與嚴重性認知，與網際網路健康資訊諮詢使用的相關性。本研究以青年為研究對象，採問卷調查方法蒐集了一百二十份的有效問卷，以實證本研究所提出的研究模式。大致而言，研究結果顯示：罹患性認知與嚴重性認知均是影響青年使用網際網路健康資訊諮詢的重要因素。
