Unraveling the Factors Associated With Digital Health Intervention Uptake: Cross-Sectional Study
Our findings show that DHI uptake is associated with socioeconomic status, health and lifestyle factors, and, especially, individuals' experience and attitudes toward e-services. Individuals with lower education levels, lower income, and poorer health and lifestyle habits are less likely to adopt DHIs, raising concerns about potential digital health inequities. These results underscore the need for targeted strategies to reduce barriers and ensure more equitable reach and engagement in future DHI implementations.
