ABSTRACT

With recent gains in telehealth access across health sectors, this editorial explores adolescent-specific health issues where innovative use of virtual care is improving outcomes and access for adolescents. These include contraception, obesity, gender-affirming care, mental health, and eating disorder care. Clinicians caring for adolescents should be aware of advances in this field to maximize opportunities for their patients to receive evidence-based care in a manner that supports health equity and confidentiality concerns while understanding the evolving regulatory landscape of telehealth.
