Description
Reed Bratches and co-authors survey family caregiver comfort with telehealth in this 2023 paper. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most patients needed help to join telehealth visits. Family caregivers often gave that help. Their comfort with computers, phones, and tablets varies, and the team asked whether it varies by race and ethnicity.
Survey data from 2020 covered 340 caregivers across the United States. Comfort was rated for each of the three device types. Models adjusted for other traits that might explain gaps. Asian caregivers reported higher odds of comfort with computers than White caregivers. Black and Hispanic caregivers reported lower odds on some measures. The gaps matter for fair access to remote care.
