TI  - Digital Information Technology Use and Transnational Healthcare: A 
      Population-Based Study on Older Russian-Speaking Migrants in Finland.

AB  - This study examines the association between digital information technology (DIT) 
      use and the utilization of transnational healthcare (THC) in older migrants, and 
      investigates how this relationship depends on social integration or perceived 
      discrimination in health services in the destination country. The data from a 
      population-based study conducted in Finland in 2019, which targeted 
      Russian-speaking residents aged 50 and above (n = 1082) nationwide, are analyzed. 
      The analysis demonstrates that those who had a high level of DIT use were 
      significantly more likely to use THC than those who had a low level of use. 
      However, the findings do not show that the relationship depends on social 
      integration or perceived discrimination. Older migrants can actively use 
      transnational networks to address their health and well-being issues by using DIT 
      and seeking healthcare abroad. Their health service use can be illustrated as an 
      active process involving various geographical domains.
