Influence of Social Support and Personality Traits on Digital Health Technology Adoption Among U.S. Veterans: A Mixed-Methods Study
This study demonstrates that social support networks and personality characteristics, rather than demographic factors, primarily influence veterans' adoption of DHT. Our findings suggest a need for personalized implementation strategies that consider psychological and social factors. Future initiatives should focus on developing targeted educational programs that leverage social support systems while accounting for individual personality traits.
