The aim of this study was to present baseline data on the access to Internet by French breast cancer patients attending genetic clinics and to examine factors affecting Internet health-related use. Twenty-four percent of participants used Internet to obtain information about the disease. This rate was higher among patients with health occupations [adjusted odds ratio (adjOR) 2.6; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-5.1], the most highly educated (adjOR 2.1; 95% CI 1.1-4.0) and those under 41 years of age (adjOR 7.3; 95% CI 2.1-26.2). Almost one of every three women was dissatisfied of this source of information.
