dc.description.abstract | The considerable variation in ICT access and use within lower income and disadvantaged groups must be acknowledged and accommodated by health initiatives and services when delivering digitally-mediated consumer-provider interaction, online health information, or online self-management of health conditions. If services require consumers to participate in digitally-mediated communication exchange, then we suggest they might support skills and technology acquisition, and/or provide non-ICT alternatives, in order to avoid exacerbating health inequities. | en |
