Factors that influence trust and willingness to use generative AI for health information: A cross-sectional study

Although not emphasized in TAM and its health-related extensions, trust seems to be a critical mediator in the adoption of generative AI for health purposes. Other factors related to OHIS were not associated with willingness to use AI, except for their relationship with trust. eHealth literacy is practically unrelated to trust and willingness to use AI, which is noteworthy given that health anxiety and health status related to higher acceptance are associated with more risky or high-stake use of online health information.
