Health Information Avoidance and eHealth Literacy in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Cross‐Sectional Correlational Study

Nevertheless, micro-and macro-level strategies and policies are necessary to decrease this avoidance and enhance eHealth literacy optimally. However, because of the convenience sampling, the generalization to the broader population should be approached with caution.
