“…E-skills include media-related skills (navigating through the WWW) and information-related skills (search strategies) [ 47 ]. Several studies have reported poorer e-skills in people from lower social classes [ 48 , 49 ]. Other studies reported a significantly higher probability of HISB on the Internet amongst people with good compared to bad e-skills [ 44 , 47 ].…”

BackgroundAlthough the increasing dissemination and use of health-related information on the Internet has the potential to empower citizens and patients, several studies have detected disparities in the use of online health information. This is due to several factors. So far, only a few studies have examined the impact of socio-economic status (SES) on health information seeking on the Internet. This study was designed to identify sociodemographic and health-(care-)related differences between users and non-users of health information gleaned from the Internet with the aim of detecting hard-to-reach target groups.MethodsThis study analyzed data from the NRW Health Survey LZG.NRW 2011 (n = 2,000; conducted in North Rhine–Westphalia, Germany, via telephone interviews). Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the determinants of online health information seeking behavior.Results68% of Internet users refer to the Internet for health-related purposes. Of the independent variables tested, SES proved to exert the strongest influence on searching the Internet for health information. The final multivariate regression model shows that people from the middle (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.6–3.2) and upper (OR: 4.0, 95% CI: 2.7–6.2) social classes are more likely to seek health information on the Internet than those from the lower class. Also, women are more likely to look for health information on the Internet than men (OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1–2.1). Individuals with a migration background are less likely to conduct health searches on the Internet (OR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4–0.8). Married people or individuals in a stable relationship search the Internet more often for health information than do singles (OR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.2–2.9). Also, heavy use of health-care services compared to non-use is associated with a higher likelihood of using the Internet for health-related matters (OR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2–2.5).ConclusionsIn order to achieve equity in health, health-related Internet use by the socially deprived should be promoted through measures to increase their level of e-health literacy. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are needed in order to gain reliable data/results on determinants of health-related Internet use.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-015-1423-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Although the Internet promised to make information more generally accessible, especially socially privileged population groups profit from improved digital technologies. Therefore, the already evidenced knowledge gaps resulting from using media information (Lind and Boomgarden, 2019) and the associated social divides grow even larger, because using digital information successfully requires even more knowledge, skills, networks, and appropriate information behavior (Bonfadelli, 2002; Marr and Zillien, 2010; Riehm and Krings, 2006; Scheerder et al, 2017).…”

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, providing digital texts as learning material had become a common practice in academia. But little is known about who profits from and who loses out when moving from print to digital reading in higher education. In this study, we connect digital reading to digital divides, and draw on a unique data set of university students digital reading practices obtained by a quantitative survey during the lockdown semester in three European countries. Based on the statistical results for digital reading access, attitudes, motivation, skills, behavior, and support, we argue that varying digital reading experiences of students are linked to inequalities in higher education opportunities. In conclusion, our results contrast current digital policies of merely improving access to digital texts in academia to democratize higher education.

Zusammenfassung Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung setzt mehr und mehr auf Online-Formate. Was können neue technische Möglichkeiten im Infrastrukturkontext leisten? Lassen sich so ein stärkerer Einbezug von BürgerInnen sowie eine bessere Vermittlung und Rückkopplung zwischen lokaler Bevölkerung, Politik und Fachplanung erreichen? Die These des vorliegenden Beitrages besteht darin, dass, erstens, jenseits der klassischen Legitimationskonzepte Kategorien der Responsivität, Nähe und Sichtbarkeit für die Legitimitätsgenerierung entscheidend sind, welche, zweitens, durch Online-Formate befördert werden können. Anhand eines kommunalen Fallbeispiels werden einige Optionen für Echtzeit-Formate und Virtual Planning in der Stadtentwicklung exemplifiziert und aufgezeigt, wie Responsivität erzeugt werden kann. Hierbei kommen dem Design der Applikation, den Einstellungen von Politik und Verwaltung sowie einer passenden Beteiligungskultur/-strategie und umfassenden Mobilisierung der Bevölkerung, der gelingenden Verknüpfung mit Offline-Formaten, dem Vorhandensein von Ressourcen für den Betrieb und einem proaktiven Management der Beteiligungsplattform zentrale Bedeutung zu.
