“…Consistent with others [15], female education was found to be a protective factor of treatment discontinuation, suggesting that women with a higher SD standard deviation, min minimum, max maximum education are more informed about the importance of compliance with fertility treatments to increase the chance of pregnancy. Recent evidence suggests that even when males and females share a high education level, women seek more health information than men [48], which may explain why male education was not a significant predictor in our study. Although the residence-to-hospital distance has been associated with discontinuation in other health conditions [8] and although the high number of appointments required for fertility treatment can disrupt the daily routine [19,32], home-to-hospital distance did not predict discontinuation.…”

“…Pero, priva a quien accede a ellas de una importante información necesaria para poder conocer su credibilidad. Se sabe que los usuarios no suelen juzgar la calidad de la información sobre salud obtenida en la Red (14) o utilizan criterios poco válidos para juzgar la veracidad de la información o su actualidad (15).…”

Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad documental de las páginas Web relacionadas con el Hospital a Domicilio.Método: Estudio transversal de los Websites sobre Hospital a Domicilio, accediendo a la población a estudio a través de la búsqueda en Google, teniendo en cuenta la “falacia muestral” de este buscador. La calidad se estudió utilizando las 8 variables pertenecientes al Indicador de Credibilidad (IC).Resultado: Se evaluaron un total de 215 páginas activas, que pertenecían principalmente a medios de comunicación. No se encontró ninguna Web que cumpliera con los 8 criterios del IC; obteniéndose Media de 2,12 ± 0,07; Mínimo de 0 y Máximo de 5; Mediana igual a 3. De las Webs estudiadas, 74 (34,42%) presentaban simultáneamente autoría y filiación, existiendo asociación con el cumplimiento del IC con las páginas que disponían de estas 2 variables (p < 0,001).Conclusiones: Existió una baja calidad de las páginas Web relacionadas con el Hospital a Domicilio. En este estudio se confirmó que la existencia de autoría y filiación fueron un factor pronóstico de la calidad de las Webs analizadas. El Indicador de Credibilidad fue una ayuda a la hora de conocer la calidad de un sitio Web.

This article expands understanding of the digital divide to more nuanced measures of use by examining differences in young adults' online activities. Young adults are the most highly connected age group, but that does not mean that their Internet uses are homogenous. Analyzing data about the Web uses of 270 adults from across the United States, the article explores the differences in 18-to 26-year-olds' online activities and what social factors explain the variation. Findings suggest that those with higher levels of education and of a more resource-rich background use the Web for more "capitalenhancing" activities. Detailed analyses of user attributes also reveal that online skill is an important mediating factor in the types of activities people pursue online. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for a "second-level digital divide," that is, differences among the population of young adult Internet users.
