Health care providers are increasingly providing technologies for patient care; however, patients are still loath to use such technologies consistently. This research examines the impediments to patients' use of e-health portals. Our analysis of 836 data records showed that while privacy and security concerns have a negative impact on attitudes toward e-health portals, increasing the awareness of privacy and security controls alleviates such concerns. Our findings also suggest that individuals worry more about who possesses the right to access their health data (i.e., who, what, when, and why) than the mechanisms used to safeguard data from unauthorized access. We found that perceived benefits and support (i.e., emotional and technical support) positively influenced the determinants of use intentions. The implications of these findings for health care providers and policy makers are discussed
