…factors found to be nonsignificant included
demographic variables typically perceived as important, such as years since graduation (a proxy for age), gender, patients seen per week (a proxy for how busy a physician is), and type of specialty. This finding is consistent with other studies, which have shown practice‐related characteristics to be unassociated with use of Internet‐based communication technologies. McGowan et al., 2012.
