ABSTRACT
Since late 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to a significant increase in the demand for medical resources. To publish data on face mask supplies, the Taiwanese government collaborated with program developers to construct a mask-supply information transitional platform (MITP). To comprehend the adoption of MITP, the study proposes a research model that integrates the health behavior model (HBM) and IS/IT continuance model for examining the factors affecting intention to use an MITP. Survey data collected from 524 respondents indicated that (1) intention to use an MITP is directly influenced by perceived threat of COVID-19 and beliefs toward using the MITP; (2) cues to action directly influence the perceived threat of COVID-19; and (3) perceived ease of use of MITP is a significant determinant of perceived usefulness of MITP. These results provide practical guidelines for health authorities and government to develop health information systems and strategies to control pandemics.
