Abbreviations: B, unstandardized regression coefficient; β, standardized regression coefficient; CI, 95% confidence interval of the unstandardized regression coefficient B; SE, unstandardized standard error; W, willingness to use an mHealth application.
Note: Class level (0 = undergraduate, 1 = graduate); race (0 = majority, 1 = minority). Missing values were excluded listwise for a sample of 464. Statistically significant predictors are displayed in bold. Willap is a dichotomous (yes/no) survey questions based on the participants willingness to use an mHealth application for a specific healthcare reason (i.e. to find healthy meals).
