TL;DR
This study focuses on identifying the core functional factors in designing and operating health information websites, and 'usage support' and 'customization' are two key functional characteristics in the extended TAM framework for health information website.
Abstract
Contrary to expectations, however, the direct effect of PEOU on usage support is hardly observed, which differentiates health information websites from other commercial websites like online shopping malls. As a result, understanding the antecedents of PU takes on more significance.
