To determine whether people with serious mental illness (SMI) and substance use disorder (SUD) use the Internet to receive health information.
One hundred people with SMI were surveyed in community mental health clinics.
Participants with SUD were significantly less likely to use the Internet compared to those who without SUD (.34 [.12-.95] p = .04). Internet users with SUD were significantly more likely to report accessing sites topically related to substance abuse (p = .01).
Few participants with SMI and SUD used the Internet. Attention to educating patients about quality health information on the Internet may be warranted.
确定患有严重精神疾病(SMI)和物质使用障碍(SUD)的人是否使用互联网获取健康信息。
在社区心理健康诊所对 100 名患有 SMI 的人进行了调查。
与没有 SUD 的人相比,患有 SUD 的参与者使用互联网的可能性显著降低(.34 [.12-.95],p =.04)。患有 SUD 的互联网用户更有可能报告访问与物质滥用相关的主题网站(p =.01)。
患有 SMI 和 SUD 的参与者很少使用互联网。可能需要关注教育患者有关互联网上优质健康信息的问题。
