Respondents to the 2008 South Australian Health Omnibus survey (n=2996) indicated whether, in the previous 12 months, they had searched for information on the Internet relating to emotional issues such as depression, anxiety or relationship problems. Logistic regression was used to examine the penetration of e-mental health in rural and metropolitan areas (region of residence), and determine if other demographic variables (age group, gender) also impacted on the likelihood of an individual reporting that they had used the Internet to obtain such information. Overall, 9% of respondents reported that they had used the Internet for this purpose. The multivariate model was significant, F(11, 2985)=4.82, P<0.0001, with middle-aged rural females most likely to report doing so (18.1%), whereas older rural males were least likely to report doing so (2.2.%). These findings have important implications for the design of e-mental health promotional programs that provide information and interventions to improve mental health.
2008年南澳大利亚综合健康调查（n = 2996）的受访者表示，在过去12个月里，他们是否在互联网上搜索过与抑郁、焦虑或人际关系问题等情绪问题相关的信息。采用逻辑回归分析来研究电子心理健康在农村和城市地区（居住地区）的普及情况，并确定其他人口统计学变量（年龄组、性别）是否也会影响个人报告使用互联网获取此类信息的可能性。总体而言，9%的受访者表示他们曾为此目的使用互联网。多变量模型具有显著性，F(11, 2985)=4.82，P<0.0001，其中农村中年女性最有可能报告这样做（18.1%），而农村老年男性最不可能报告这样做（2.2%）。这些发现对设计提供信息和干预措施以改善心理健康的电子心理健康促进项目具有重要意义。
