JAMA Network Open: Telehealth Availability for Mental Health Care During and After the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

This cohort study of 1001 mental health treatment facilities (MHTFs) found a small decline in MHTFs offering telehealth subsequent to the end of the PHE and found larger declines in availability of audio-only telehealth services and care for comorbid alcohol use disorder. MHTFs that stopped offering telehealth were more likely to be public facilities. The findings suggest targeted policies may be necessary to sustain telehealth access.
