Determinants of Digital Health Literacy: International Cross-Sectional Study
This study found significant variations in digital health literacy by age, health status, and country of residence. Targeted educational programs for vulnerable groups, particularly those of older age and poorer health status, are essential. Policies fostering accessible digital health solutions and mitigating health technology-related uncertainties for these populations are crucial for achieving optimal health outcomes.
