NEW YORK - Americans with disabilities and other chronic conditions are less likely to use the Internet, but those who are online are among the most avid consumers of health-related information, a new study finds.

The study found the chronic population far more likely to look for information about medication, specific treatments and procedures and alternative treatments and medicines — all by margins exceeding the potential sampling error.
