Abstract:

Health information technology (HIT) aims to improve healthcare services by means of technological tools. Patient centered technologies such as personal health records are relatively new HIT tools that enable individuals to get involved in their health management activities. These tools enable the transformation of health consumer behavior from one of passive health information consumers to that of active managers of their health information. This new role is more interactive and engaged, and with such tools, patients can better navigate their lives, and exercise more control over their treatme

Abstract:

There are large disparities in physical health within psychiatric population. These disparities are made greater by the poor health behaviors of the psychiatric population in general. Change in health behaviors is aided by social support, a resource common within consumer run organizations (CROs). This study both investigated the health of people with psychiatric disabilities in Kansas and examined CROs to determine their organizational and setting level support for physical activity and eating a healthy diet. Collection of data was primarily through semi-structured interviews. Interviews were

Abstract:

Consumer debt is a growing phenomenon in the US and throughout the world. The beginning of the 21st century has been defined by such an incredible growth in consumer debt that American families have increased their debt relative to personal income four times faster than in the 1990s. Since the Federal Reserve began measuring the amount of American consumer debt and consumer income in the 1980s, consumer debt never exceeded consumer income until 2004 when it reached 104.8% of income. In the last two decades, researchers have observed a significant correlation between debt and mental health. The

Abstract:

An electronic health record (EHR) can be defined as the digital version of an individual’s medical history. EHRs are intended to improve the quality and efficiency of health care, decrease costs and prevent medical errors. Previous studies have shown that achievement of the potential benefits from EHRs depends largely upon the adoption and continued use of EHR services by health care consumers (Esmaeilzadeh & Sambasivan, 2017; Hanna et al., 2017). Further research, therefore, is necessary to better understand the factors that influence consumer EHR adoption. This study aims to investigate the

At risk individuals tend to avoid information that might perturb their sense of security. I propose certainty appraisal as an important emotional dimension that affects health message processing and persuasion. Specifically, I suggest that emotions high on certainty appraisal can provide confidence to cope with the insecurity instigated by threatening health communications. Five studies are proposed to demonstrate the interaction of certainty appraisal with two health message characteristics: vulnerability to threat and response efficacy.
