Health-related difficulty in internet use among older adults: correlates and mediation of its association with quality of life through social support networks. The Gerontologist, 61(5), 693-702. https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/geront/gnaa096 | Journal: | The Gerontologist | Abstract: | Internet use is increasingly a necessity. However, older adults may not use the internet due to either nonhealth reasons (e.g., lack of digital literacy or internet access) or health-related reasons (e.g., visual impairment or movement difficulties). While researchers have studied internet use among older adults, most do not discriminate whether nonuse is due to health-related reasons or otherwise. We therefore examine the key correlates of health-related difficulty in internet use among older adults, and how it may affect the quality of life (QoL) through their perceived social support networks. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/159475 | ISSN: | 0016-9013 | DOI: | 10.1093/geront/gnaa096 | Schools: | School of Social Sciences | Rights: | © 2020 The Authors.
