Participants were 906 youth who received an initial evaluation either in-person (n=472) within the 18 months before SIP or through telehealth (n=434) within the 18 months after SIP during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patient variables to assess access included geographic distance from the clinic, ethnic and racial diversity, and patient’s insurance type.

Results: Data indicated that transitioning to telehealth resulted in maintained access rates between groups as measured by race and ethnic diversity as well as distance traveled from the clinic.

Though the majority of participants (in-person: 52.75%; telehealth 55.81%) lived within 50 miles of the clinic, results indicated that telehealth allowed for a statistically significant increase in evaluation access for families living further from the clinic within a 50-mile radius.
