Telehealth delivery of preventive health services may improve access to care; however, its effectiveness and adverse effects are unknown. We conducted a comparative effectiveness review on the effectiveness and harms of telehealth interventions for women's reproductive health and intimate partner violence (IPV) services. ⋯ Telehealth interventions for contraceptive care and IPV services demonstrate equivalent clinical and patient-reported outcomes versus in-person care, although few studies are available. Effective approaches for delivering these services and how to best mobilize telehealth, particularly for women facing barriers to care remain uncertain.

US Older Adults with Multiple Chronic Conditions Perceptions of Provider-Patient Communication: Trends and Racial Disparities from MEPS 2013-2019.
Multiple chronic conditions (MCC) require complex patient-centered approaches with effective provider-patient communication. ⋯ The rates of "always" reporting positive communication with providers significantly declined from 2013 to 2019 in older adults with MCC, particularly in non-Hispanic Whites. Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks were more likely to report positive communication with providers than other races.
