This project examines how online versus offline health service contexts shape judgments and decisions, with a focus on reducing health inequalities. Drawing on construal level theory, it investigates how the increased psychological distance of eHealth services influences trust in providers, help-seeking behaviors—especially among stigmatized groups—and preferences for more global, meaning-based treatments, particularly in mental health. While online contexts may promote accessibility and reduce stigma, they may also increase reliance on stereotypes and bias in decision-making. The research aims to develop strategies and policy guidelines that mitigate these risks, support informed health decisions, and address gender and identity-based inequalities in health access and care.
