In a Health Policy brief released today, Amy Sheon of Case Western Reserve University and Elaine Khoong of the University of California San Francisco write about the linkages between digital inclusion and health equity ([link removed] ) .
Digital inclusion determines access to health care services and jobs and shapes educational attainment.
Digital inclusion also overlaps with structural disparities. Evidence suggests that “neighborhood internet subscription rates vary by historic redlining status,” and that financial barriers shape digital exclusion.
Khoong and Sheon outline four pillars of digital inclusion, including “available, affordable high-speed internet service; devices; digital skills and training; and applications, online content, and technical support.”
The researchers call for increased investments in broadband infrastructure and the development of digital policy that includes the health sector.
