Telehealth Use and Modality Choice Among US Adults: Shorrocks-Shapley Decomposition of a 2022 Cross-Sectional National Survey
Digital access and eHealth behaviors collectively explain more variance in modality choice than traditional sociodemographic factors. Telehealth uptake reflects a combination of digital factors, geography, and clinical need, whereas video modality specifically hinges on digital readiness. Interventions pairing sustained insurance coverage with targeted investments in device access, affordable high-speed connectivity, and digital literacy training are most likely to narrow persistent telehealth gaps.
