Summary: The Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system distributed video telehealth tablets to homeless Veterans in 2016. A study evaluating the tablets' usage found that younger, middle-aged, rural-living Veterans with PTSD were more likely to use them, while Black individuals, those with substance use disorder, or persistent housing instability were less likely to use them. Efforts are needed to provide tailored training and support for these vulnerable populations to optimize telehealth tablet use.
