【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Disparities in access to video-visit services have been described during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, we aimed to examine factors associated with not having a video-visit among a medically high-risk ambulatory population.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, our telephone-based survey was designed to understand the health-related challenges, social needs, and access to and attitudes toward video-visit.Results: In the multivariable analysis, having fewer symptoms unrelated to COVID, more barriers to medications, and less confidence with video-visit software were significantly associated with an increased prevalence of not having a video-visit.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that additional efforts are needed to eliminate disparate video-visit use.
