Abstract
Many clinicians are still reluctant to use telemental health (TMH) despite its feasibility. This study examines clinicians’ perceptions of provider-patient relationships in relation to TMH. Frequency of TMH use and level of TMH knowledge were found to impact clinicians’ perceptions. Ideas to enhance TMH use in clinical care are suggested.
