Teledermatology in Rural, Underserved, and Isolated Environments: A Review.

Purpose Of Review: Summarize the current evidence for teledermatology in rural, underserved, and isolated environments including its use during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent Findings: Teledermatology is a reliable and cost-effective tool that can reduce face-to-face visits and improve the timeliness of care for medically underserved populations. Recent studies have shown many additional benefits of teledermatology, including improving patients' health outcomes and increasing local providers' knowledge of dermatologic conditions.

Using Implementation Science to Understand Teledermatology Implementation Early in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Implementation science has been recognized for its potential to improve the integration of evidence-based practices into routine dermatologic care. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in rapid teledermatology implementation worldwide. Although several studies have highlighted patient and care provider satisfaction with teledermatology during the COVID-19 pandemic, less is known about the implementation process.

Adolescent social media use and mental health from adolescent and parent perspectives.

This study investigated adolescent and parent reports of adolescent social media use and its relation to adolescent psychosocial adjustment. The sample consisted of 226 participants (113 parent-adolescent dyads) from throughout the United States, with adolescents (55 males, 51 females, 7 unreported) ranging from ages 14 to 17. Parent and adolescent reports of the number of adolescents' social media accounts were moderately correlated with parent-reported DSM-5 symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, ODD, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, as well as adolescent-reported fear of missing out (FoMO) and loneliness.
