Comparison of telehealth and in-person mental health care in military veterans and active-duty service members.

Telehealth services are increasingly utilized to improve mental health care access for active-duty service members (ADSM) and military veterans. This article examines mental health outcomes for veterans ( = 4,536) and ADSMs ( = 378) who met diagnostic criteria for depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder ( = 4,914) and were treated at Cohen Veterans Network Clinics using either telehealth or in-person treatment modalities. Results demonstrate small but statistically significant advantages for telehealth in terms of discharge scores, rates of clinically significant change, and efficiency of treatment.
