Abstract

    The study aimed to monitor the Egyptian Public's solicitation of information about Monkeypox Virus through the electronic newspaper’s websites and the relationship of that solicitation to the Egyptian Public's level of health awareness. The study used the Survey Method through an electronic questionnaire distributed to a Purposive Sample of 400 individuals from among the Egyptian Public who are exposed to the websites of electronic newspapers, as the study found the following:

"Obtaining information about symptoms of Monkeypox Virus infection" is the most important motive for respondents' solicitation of information about Monkeypox Virus from the electronic newspaper websites.
The procedure “I'm satisfied with following up the headlines while my exposing to the website” came on top of the list of procedures the respondents followed while soliciting information about Monkeypox Virus from the websites of electronic newspapers.

The hypothesis indicating that there is a statistically significant correlation between the rate of soliciting information about Monkeypox Virus from the electronic newspapers and the effects resulting from this solicitation was proven to be valid.
