Development of an Instrument for Assessing the Maturity of Citizens for Consumer Health Informatics in Developing Countries: The Case of Chile, Ghana, and Kosovo.

Objective:  We aimed to develop a survey instrument to assess the maturity level of consumer health informatics (ConsHI) in low-middle income countries (LMIC).

Methods:  We deduced items from unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), UTAUT2, patient activation measure (PAM), and ConsHI levels to constitute a pilot instrument. We proposed a total of 78 questions consisting of 14 demographic and 64 related maturity variables using an iterative process.
