Abstract | AIM: METHODS: An online survey of Nā=ā311 patients was carried out (response rate 54.1ā%). Descriptive statistical analysis and a logistic regression analysis were carried out. RESULTS: The respondents are on average 46 years old (20-81), 59ā% are women. Older age (OR 2,579), not living in partnership (OR 1,963), fear of personal contact (OR 5,716) and low (OR 3,585) or moderate (OR 3,144) interactive health literacy were significantly associated with the time to treatment. CONCLUSION: The data suggest that social inequalities exist regarding the use of psychotherapeutic or pharmacological interventions in people with social anxiety disorder.
