Factors Associated With Portal and Telehealth Uptake and Use in a Minoritized, Low-Income Community: Mixed Methods Study
This study builds on previous work by confirming and contributing insights about factors key to technology uptake and use among underserved populations. Interventions using digital health technologies should focus on these factors to promote digital and health equity and achieve better health outcomes. Future research should explore which clinical settings and contexts are most conducive to increasing digital technology uptake and use, and implementation should leverage partnerships with community groups.
