Ethnicity, digital divides and uses of the Internet for health information
作者：
Highlights：
• We explore racial and cognitive influences on online health information searches.
• We model social locators, self efficacy and motivations on health search behaviors.
• The predictive influence of self-efficacy and online use motivations is supported.
• Ethnicity is not a significant determinant of online health information searches.
• Social locators are less telling than cognitive factors in explaining search behavior.
