Ever Use of Telehealth in Nebraska by March 2021: Cross-Sectional Analysis
This study highlights disparities in telehealth use. Despite high coverage, internet access was a significant predictor of telehealth use, highlighting the role of the digital divide in telehealth access and use. Telehealth use was significantly less prevalent among older adults, people without chronic health conditions, and Hispanic individuals. Targeted interventions that address barriers to telehealth use and improve health care access are warranted.
