Abstract	Purpose: This research aims to develop and test a model of digital health communication media (DHCM) use for healthy food information -- DHCM usage -- during the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, this research investigated the simultaneous effects of perceived threat of COVID-19, e-health literacy, attitude toward DHCM usage, knowledge toward DHCM usage, facilitating conditions and information quality on the DHCM usage. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical data were collected through a survey. The respondents of the survey are 192 DHCM users who lived in Tangerang Regency. Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was performed. Findings: The DHCM usage during the COVID-19 pandemic is significantly affected by the attitude towards the DHCM usage and the facilitating conditions. However, the DHCM usage during the COVID-19 pandemic is not significantly affected by the perceived threat of COVID-19, e-health literacy, information quality and knowledge of the DHCM usage. Research limitations/implications: This research was conducted only in Tangerang Regency and employed a purposive sampling technique. Future research should be conducted in other contexts to examine the stability of the research findings. Practical implications: In order to improve DHCM usage for healthy food information, it is important for building a positive attitude towards DHCM usage and ensuring the availability of the facilitating conditions. Originality/value: This paper is the first that develops and tests a model of DHCM usage for healthy food information during the COVID-19 pandemic. (As Provided).
