Overview

Observational analysis reveals telehealth usage enhances cancer genetic testing dialogue in adults, suggesting improved access.

Key Points

  • Telehealth users are more likely to discuss cancer genetic testing compared to non-users, enhancing access to care.
  • After adjusting for covariates, telehealth users had 1.68 times higher odds of discussing genetic testing than non-users.
  • Higher education and personal cancer history correlated with increased rates of cancer genetic testing discussion and uptake.
  • Implementation of telehealth may improve access to genetic testing, yet it could also exacerbate existing disparities in care.
