Willingness to Share Health Data of Drexler (2026)

Description

These data are a snapshot from a study on willingness to share health data in Austria. We look at the willingness to share data with a social health insurance provider for people with chronic conditions. The data is a random sample of 300 complete cases from the original 1260 observations and fully anonymized. We did the following data preparation steps over the original data: We reversed the polarity of the item variables by mapping the "worst" category to the lowest number and we also combined the two highest trust categories to trust category 4.
