“…International differences between search interests have been seen previously with tanning beds. Kirchberger et al demonstrated that searches for tanning beds decreased during corresponding times that bans were in place or legislature limiting use was in place in countries like Brazil, Australia, and the United States. Likewise, GT researchers evaluating public interest in breast cancer demonstrated a significant spike in breast cancer searches during the Pink October international breast cancer awareness campaign and made suggestions on how to time future campaigns using GT data .…”

In Australien lässt sich seit einem entsprechenden Gesetz Anfang 2015 eine drastische Abnahme der Suchanfragen verzeichnen . Generell wäre eine niedrige Basisrate an Suchanfragen zum Thema Solarium erfreulich, was wahrscheinlich auf ein geringes Interesse an Sonnenstudios hinweisen würde.…”

“…Die wohl bekannteste Studie wurde 2008 von Ginsberg und Mitarbeitern zur Vorhersage von Influenzaepidemien publiziert . Google® ist als Plattform für derartige Analysen besonders geeignet, da es einen Marktanteil von über 90 % aller breiter verfügbaren Suchmaschinen hat und Suchanfragen gezielt räumlich und zeitlich über Software‐basierte Analysen kartiert werden können . Derartige Messinstrumente stehen der Öffentlichkeit für andere Suchmaschinenanbieter aktuell nicht zu Verfügung.…”
