This research aims to gain more understanding about what factors influence the ability for children and  teenagers with rheumatic disease and their caregivers to access digital health technologies.  Digital health technologies, such as websites, mobile apps, and video links are becoming valuable for patients and families affected by having a childhood rheumatic disease. Digital resources improve access to information that helps to understand, monitor, and manage disease. However, to benefit from digital health technologies, children and families require adequate digital health literacy (DHL).  DHL is a person’s ability to access, evaluate, and apply health information obtained using electronic digital resources. Children and families affected by having a rheumatic disease who have high DHL are more informed about their disease, understand and comply with treatments better, and have more favorable outcomes. However, not all children and families have equal opportunities to achieve desirable DHL levels.  This project is the first to comprehensively consider what factors facilitate DHL and what barriers might exists to prevent DHL in children who have a rheumatic disease and their families.
