Abstract
The Internet has the potential for engaging urban seniors in managing their health. This study examined computer and Internet use among urban seniors and their interest in using the Internet as a health-management tool. Findings indicated that many participants were interested in storing and accessing health-related information using an elder-friendly health web portal. Further research, using a community of urban older adults as active members of a health portal design team, could provide a unique viewpoint on how the Internet might be used as a health-information and management tool for older adults.
Notes
Notes: Adjusted % is based on predicted probability from logistic regression including the following covariates: gender, ethnicity (black vs. not black), education, and income. SE is the standard error of the percentage.
a The category sizes for adjusted percentages differ because the logistic regression used 20 fewer cases due to missing covariate values.
b This age category was not included in logistic regression because only one person was in this category.
