Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

Decreased odds of portal access were seen for those speaking Spanish (a OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.23-0.32) or another non-English non-Spanish language (a OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.47-0.81) and being non-Latino (a OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.54-0.76; Table 1). Demographic characteristics associated with having had at least 1 telemedicine visit were similar but not the same as those for portal activation.

In Wisconsin, compared with non-Hispanic White Wisconsin residents, Hispanic or Latino residents had 1.7 times higher case rates, Black residents had 2.1 times higher hospitalization rates, and American Indian residents had 1.4 times greater death rates [5]. Greater prevalence of comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, among Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic or Latino patients elevated their risk of hospitalization once infected [1].

Psychometric Properties of Measuring Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Young Latino Sexual Minority Men With HIV: Ecological Momentary Assessment and Electronic Pill Dispenser Study

Psychometric Properties of Measuring Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Young Latino Sexual Minority Men With HIV: Ecological Momentary Assessment and Electronic Pill Dispenser Study

In the same year, Latino SMM accounted for 23% (n=246,097) of people with HIV in the United States [1]. Despite viral suppression being critical to prevent new cases of HIV and preserve the health of people with HIV [2], only 66% of Latino SMM with HIV in the United States achieved viral suppression in 2020, compared with 73% among non-Latino White SMM [3]. Low rates of viral suppression are partially due to suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence.
