This study is seek to identify the patterns of social media use among youth scouting around (1) the most popular social media, types and form of information sought (2) frequency of social media use and (3) activities on social media in the context of health information search. This descriptive quantitative study consisted of an online questionnaire survey of 509 youth. The population is a group of youths who are pursuing their studies at public universities (age range 18-25) randomly selected through multi stage random sampling. Four selected universities to represent the zones and G Power Analysis Software has been used to identify sample size. Facebook is the main choice for respondents in the search for health information after Youtube and Blog. Twitter was less used by respondents in the context of health information search. In terms of health information sought, the majority of respondents liked to seek information about the cause of the disease, symptoms, complications or effects and nutritional information. Most respondents prefer to seek health information in the form of images and storytelling/personal experiences of suffering from illness. Respondents spent most of their time on Blog and Youtube for reading on health information. Youth are using social media for seeking health information. However, they are more likely to consume information than they are to contribute to the information posted online. The inherent value of "social"in social media is not being captured with online health information use.

The results of the study revealed that the perceived healthcare services in private hospitals do not significantly vary. The dimension of responsiveness was rated the highest while tangibility was perceived as the least important of the three SERVQUAL dimensions applied in this study. Therefore, this research suggests to use more dimensions of service quality theories and bigger samplings to obtain better results and may be used to contribute in enhancing the quality of healthcare services of private hospitals in Penang, Malaysia and in other similar environments.
