Abstract
E-health literacy is a critical aspect of healthcare access and utilization, particularly in low-income communities. However, little is known about the impact of e-health literacy on healthcare outcomes in these communities. This study aims to investigate the impact of e-health literacy on healthcare access and utilization in low-income communities. This comprehensive study focuses on the impact of e-health literacy on individuals in low-income communities. The findings reveal that improved access to health information can be achieved through e-health literacy, which can help individuals access health information that they may not have been able to access otherwise. Additionally, e-health literacy enhances healthcare decision-making, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare needs. This includes choosing appropriate healthcare providers, understanding treatment options, and making decisions about their health. The study also demonstrates that e-health literacy can increase the utilization of preventative services such as screenings and vaccinations, thereby improving overall health outcomes and reducing the need for more expensive treatments down the line. Furthermore, e-health literacy can improve medication adherence in low-income communities by providing individuals with information on medication use, side effects, and interactions, leading to improved adherence and better health outcomes. Finally, the study highlights that e-health literacy can help to reduce healthcare disparities in low-income communities by providing access to health information and resources that may have previously been out of reach.
