Background And Objectives: As telehealth grows in ubiquity, it is important to understand the barriers and facilitators to telehealth utilization in historically marginalized populations. This study utilizes the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to assess correlates of the intention to utilize video consultations among low-income Hispanic patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included participants (N = 138) recruited from a federally qualified health center affiliated with a large university health system. Components of the TPB were assessed using an in-person survey. Participant survey responses were analyzed using multiple logistic regression to identify correlates of participants' intention to utilize video consultations.
Results: Multiple logistic regression revealed subjective norms (adjusted odds ratio (aOR [95% CI]) = 3.29 [1.66, 6.52], P = .001) as the only significant correlate of participants' intention to utilize video consultations. Attitudes toward video consultations (aOR [95% CI] = 1.32 [0.60, 2.89], P = .49) and perceived behavioral control (1.72 [0.89, 3.32], P = .11) did not independently correlate with behavioral intention.
Conclusions: Ratings of subjective norms were independently correlated with intention to utilize video consultations among low-income, predominantly Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults. These results suggest a potentially central role of relational influences in determining telehealth engagement in this population.

Preventive interventions are expected to substantially improve the prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer, predominantly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma. HCC prevention is challenging in the face of the evolving etiological landscape, particularly the sharp increase in obesity-associated metabolic disorders, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Next-generation anti-HCV and HBV drugs have substantially reduced, but not eliminated, the risk of HCC and have given way to new challenges in identifying at-risk patients.

Background: The potential of telehealth psychotherapy (ie, the online delivery of treatment via a video web-based platform) is gaining increased attention. However, there is skepticism about its acceptance, safety, and efficacy for patients with high emotional and behavioral dysregulation.
Objective: This study aims to provide initial effect size estimates of symptom change from pre- to post treatment, and the acceptance and safety of telehealth dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Department of Radiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Importance: The integration of patient-reported outcome (PRO) assessments in cardiovascular care has encountered considerable obstacles despite their established clinical relevance.
Objective: To assess the impact of a physician- and patient-friendly electronic PRO (ePRO) monitoring system on the quality of cardiovascular care in clinical practice.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This open-label, multicenter, pilot randomized clinical trial was phase 2 of a multiphase study that was conducted from October 2022 to October 2023 and focused on the implementation and evaluation of an ePRO monitoring system in outpatient clinics in Japan.
