Rural Americans have less access than their urban counterparts to health promotion information.
To assess differences in program satisfaction associated with age, gender, ethnicity, community size, and education among participants in an Arkansas adult telehealth education program that utilized interactive video technology.
A program evaluation instrument was administered to a convenience sample of 2567 people who participated in the program from 1996 through 1999.
The evaluation instrument demonstrated adequate internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.85) and construct validity. Older adults, blacks, American Indians, and participants from smaller rural communities and with a high school degree or less had significantly greater satisfaction (P < .001 to P = .03).
The findings suggest that socioeconomic and demographic factors can affect satisfaction with telehealth education programs.
美国农村居民比城市居民获得健康促进信息的机会更少。
评估阿肯色州一项利用交互式视频技术的成人远程医疗教育项目参与者中，与年龄、性别、种族、社区规模和教育程度相关的项目满意度差异。
对1996年至1999年参加该项目的2567人进行便利抽样，并使用项目评估工具。
评估工具显示出足够的内部一致性信度（克朗巴哈系数=0.85）和结构效度。老年人、黑人、美国印第安人，以及来自较小农村社区且高中及以下学历的参与者满意度显著更高（P<.001至P=.03）。
研究结果表明，社会经济和人口因素会影响对远程医疗教育项目的满意度。
