Report Date:
2020-12-16
Abstract:
The Defense Health Agency is heavily invested in various eHealth tools to support the overall health and medical readiness of Active Duty Service Members. Initial studies discovered that the use of eHealth tools is positively associated with improved health outcomes, adherence to treatment, consumer-provider communication, and consumer satisfaction. The five chapters in this dissertation focused on characterizing the eHealth behaviors of Active Duty Service Members by evaluating patient portal use, demographics, and six pre-existing health conditions. The results provide new insight into the behaviors of using the Internet to seek information and manage health.
