The association between electronic wearable devices and self-efficacy for managing health: a cross sectional study using 2019 HINTS data

In conclusion, about one fourth of American adults used EWDs in the past month and the utilization patters varied across subpopulations. Using EWDs is associated with high self-efficacy for managing health in the general populati on. This association remained significant among people with chronic conditions. Future studies are needed to further understand the underlying mechanism of EWDs use and self-efficacy for managing health.
