Key result
Use of a web-based self-management intervention by CHD patients was low (10.6% participation) and strongly predicted by having home Internet access and prior experience (OR 3.74; 95% CI 1.52-9.22).

Odds Ratio: 3.74 (95% CI 1.52–9.22)
A web-based intervention for CHD self-management had low uptake (10.6%) and was predominantly used by older, well-educated Caucasian men with prior internet experience, highlighting challenges in reducing health disparities through digital tools.
Kerr et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Coronary heart disease (CHD) (n=168). Web-based intervention for heart disease self-management was evaluated on Greater use of the intervention (no, low, or high use) (OR 3.74, 95% CI 1.52-9.22). Use of a web-based self-management intervention by CHD patients was low (10.6% participation) and strongly predicted by having home Internet access and prior experience (OR 3.74; 95% CI 1.52-9.22).
