Growing disparities in patient-provider messaging: trend analysis before and after supportive policy.
This study examined trends in eHealth disparities before and after the introduction of US federal financial incentives. The investigators compared rates of patient-provider messaging, which was directly incentivized, with rates of looking for health information on the Web, which was not directly incentivized. The investigators concluded that disparities in provider messaging widened over time, particularly following federal financial incentives.
