Adoption of electronic health record systems has increased the availability of patient-level electronic health information. Examine public support for secondary uses of electronic health information under different consent arrangements. National experimental survey to examine perceptions of uses of electronic health information when varying along three dimensions: patient consent (obtained vs. not obtained), use (research vs. marketing), and framing of the findings (abstract description without results vs. specific results). Nationally representative survey. 3,064 African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White individuals representing a response rate of 65%. Appropriateness of health information use described in vignettes on a 1-10 scale (1=not at all appropriate; 10=very appropriate). Mean ratings ranged from a low of 3.81 for a marketing use when consent was not obtained and specific results were presented to a high of 7.06 for a research use when consent was obtained and specific results were presented. Participants rated scenarios where consent was obtained as more appropriate compared to when consent was not obtained (+1.01; 95% CI 0.69, 1.34, P<0.001). Participants rated scenarios where the use was marketing as less appropriate compared to when the use was research (−2.03; 95% CI −2.27, −1.78, P<0.001). Unconsented research uses were seen as more appropriate than consented marketing uses (5.65 vs. 4.52; difference = 1.13; 95% CI 0.87, 1.39).. Participants rated hypothetical scenarios and results could be vulnerable to non-response bias despite the high response rate. Although approaches to health information sharing emphasize consent, public opinion also emphasizes purpose suggesting a need to focus more attention on the social value of information use.
