Abstract

This paper reports the key findings of an empirical study conducted with undergraduate students to identify and assess the core constructs of online trust, with a focus on health digital information. This study suggests the use of a trust scale in further research into the potential impact of the system and information design on the users’ trust and use of digital information.
