Factors influencing how informal caregivers of people with multiple sclerosis access and use a curated intervention website: Analysis from an RCT.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Healthcare consumers and providers are increasingly turning to digital solutions, such as curated websites. Knowing who accesses/benefits from these may improve design and development. This study investigated website usage of informal caregivers of people with multiple sclerosis and shifts in outcome plausibly associated with usage.
