The objective of this study was to examine factors predicting use of the Internet to seek health information among Hispanics in the Washington Heights and Inwood areas of New York City. Data were collected by community health workers through the Washington Heights/Inwood Informatics Infrastructure for Community-Centered Comparative Effectiveness Research (WICER) community survey and a random sample of 100 surveys was selected for analysis. Binary logistic regression (N=100) was used to examine predictors of online health information-seeking behaviors (HISBs) of respondent and household members (dependent variables). Younger age, better health status, and higher education level significantly predicted respondents' HISBs. Respondents' health status and education level also significantly predicted household members' HISBs.
本研究的目的是调查纽约市华盛顿高地和因伍德地区西班牙裔人群中预测使用互联网获取健康信息的因素。社区卫生工作者通过华盛顿高地/因伍德社区中心比较效果研究信息基础设施(WICER)社区调查收集数据,并选取100份调查样本进行分析。采用二元逻辑回归(N = 100)来检验受访者及其家庭成员在线健康信息搜索行为(HISBs)(因变量)的预测因素。年龄较小、健康状况较好和教育水平较高显著预测了受访者的HISBs。受访者的健康状况和教育水平也显著预测了家庭成员的HISBs。
