Developing and Evaluating a Measure of the Willingness to Use Pandemic-Related mHealth Tools Using National Probability Samples in the United States: Quantitative Psychometric Analyses and Tests of Sociodemographic Group Differences.

Findings have implications for public health screening and tracking and understanding digital health inequities, including lack of uptake.
