This paper provides a detailed discussion regarding the attitudes, benefits, and barriers to adoption of health IT for low income, minority, elderly populations in a community-based affordable housing setting. Results show that despite challenges to adoption of technology amongst minority populations, senior residents will adopt technology if they understand the benefits of these technologies for improving their health and for remaining independent, thereby enabling them to age-in-place.
本文详细讨论了在基于社区的经济适用房环境中，低收入、少数族裔、老年人群体采用健康信息技术的态度、益处和障碍。结果表明，尽管少数族裔人群在采用技术方面存在挑战，但老年居民如果了解这些技术对改善健康和保持独立的益处，从而使他们能够在原地养老，就会采用这些技术。
