Trust Building How well does your platform establish trust with new women users?​

Trust building, the first stage of a trust life-cycle, involves users familiarising themselves with a digital platform either individually or through proxies like family members and intermediaries. ​

Platforms can generate greater trust by incorporating features designed for the three determinants of a user's decision-making (platform value, care system, and user resilience) and accounting for constraints in the user's agency. This can improve the adoption of a platform by new women users.​
