本研究旨在探讨网络使用、社会经济地位、社会支持与主观健康的关系。参与者来自七个不同欧洲国家的15至80岁的代表性样本。使用了两个不同的调查数据集：（i）电子健康趋势（eHT; N = 7934）和（ii）欧洲社会调查（ESS 2; N = 11248）。将为健康目的使用互联网的互联网用户与未为健康目的使用互联网的互联网用户进行了比较。结构方程模型被用来评估SES，互联网使用，社会支持和主观健康之间的关系。其他媒体的使用进行了比较，互联网使用的社会支持和主观健康。互联网的使用被认为是更密切相关的社会支持和主观健康比其他媒体的使用。互联网的使用也被发现是一个合理的中介SES和主观健康，特别是通过与社会支持。
This study aimed to explore relations between Internet use, socio-economic status (SES), social support and subjective health. Participants were from representative samples between 15 and 80 years of age from seven different European countries. Two different survey datasets were used: (i) eHealth trends (eHT; N = 7934) and (ii) the European social survey (ESS2; N = 11248). Internet users who had used the Internet for health purposes were compared with Internet users who had not used it for health purposes. Structural equation modelling was used to assess the relationships between SES, Internet use, social support and subjective health. Use of other media was compared to Internet use in relation to social support and subjective health. Internet use was found to be more closely related to social support and subjective health than use of other media. Internet use was also found to be a plausible mediator between SES and subjective health, especially through interacting with social support.
