Objective—To identify determinants of frequent Internet use in an urban kidney transplant population in the United States. Design—A single center, cross-sectional survey study Setting—An urban Midwestern transplant center Participants—78 pretransplant and 177 posttransplant patients Main Outcome Measures—Frequent Internet use, defined as using the Internet more than 5 hours per week. Results—Only 38% of participants reported being frequent Internet users. Non-Hispanic blacks and participants who reported their race/ethnicity as “other” were significantly less likely than whites to report being frequent Internet users. Women were 59% less likely than men to be frequent users of the Internet. Those who reported having kidney disease for more than 3 years were more likely to report being frequent Internet users. As education increased, Internet use increased. As age increased, Internet use decreased. Conclusion—Alternatives to electronic information sources and/or additional resources should be considered for those who may fall in the so-called digital divide. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
