ABSTRACT
As part of the ongoing CRISP project (Communicating Risk in Internet Security and Privacy), we conducted a user study in a marginalized community to better understand community members' interactions with computers and the Internet in terms of security and privacy. We used the Health Belief Model to understand what factors affect members' behavior when a potential attack is present. In particular, we focused on two factors, perceived risk and self-efficacy, and interviewed 44 participants about them. In this paper, we report our preliminary quantitative and qualitative findings.
