An analysis of Medicare data led by Chad Ellimoottil, M.D., M.S., assistant professor of urology, shows about one in six doctor’s office visits by older Americans no longer takes place in an actual doctor’s office, but rather online or over the phone. The report also shows about a third of rural older adults had at least one virtual visit in 2020, compared with nearly half of their counterparts in suburban and urban areas.

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders have already been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes like low birth weight and preterm birth.
