“…I conducted all interviews through the videoconferencing software (e.g., Skype, Google Hangout, and Face Time). Recent literature supported the use of videoconferencing software by researchers when conducting interviews, and the similarities of these interviews to in-person interviews have been noted (Beck, 2005;Dicicco-Bloom & Crabtree, 2006;Richardson, Frueh, Grubaugh, Egede, & Elhai, 2009;Sedgwick & Spiers, 2009;Winzenburg, 2012). I maintained confidentiality by conducting interviews in a private room where only I was privy to participants' responses.…”

“…Considering the evidence in the literature regarding videoconferencing as a valid means for conducting qualitative interviews, I believe videoconferencing was a costeffective and appropriate medium to use for my data collection. Richardson et al (2009) discussed the pertinent ethical and legal issues involved with videoconferencing. They suggested that researchers utilizing videoconferencing consider the issue of informed consent, especially with respect to recording the videoconference.…”

DedicationI would like to dedicate this dissertation to a few individuals. First, I want to dedicate this study to the ten women and men who participated in the research. It was an honor and a privilege to hear your stories. I hope I have done them-and you, justice.I would also like to dedicate this body of work to my mother, Patsy Dickens, who always encouraged me to keep learning. Her words inspired me to further my education and pursue my dream of obtaining a doctoral degree.Lastly, I dedicate this dissertation to my dear friend, fellow graduate assistant, and "partner-incrime," Chantrelle Varnado-Johnson. I am lucky to know you, and to have worked along-side you. I will always be grateful for your friendship and wisdom, and awed by your determined spirit. You are an inspiration to me. iv AcknowledgmentsAs the old proverb says, "It takes a village to raise a child." I would now like to thank my "village."I would like to start by thanking my higher power, God, for providing me with strength in times of weakness and renewed faith in times of despair.To my chair, Dr. Herlihy: there are not enough words in the English language to express the gratitude I have for you. You have been more than a dissertation chair and advisor to me.You have been a mentor, a role model, a source of comfort and strength, a motivator, and a believer in my abilities to navigate the doctoral student role and dissertation maze. I would not have completed this journey without your guidance and wisdom. Thank you for believing in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. It is because of your encouragement that this research topic was chosen, and I look forward to the future work we will do together.To my methodologist, Dr. O'Hanlon: thank you for signing up for this journey! Your attention to detail and dedication to the formulation of this study was instrumental to the finished product. Thank you for your kindness and encouragement. Your guidance has made me a better researcher. It has been a pleasure working with you.To Dr. Johnson: I am so glad you came to UNO! Thank you for taking this journey with me, and for your thoughtful feedback and questions. Thank you for your mentorship, especially regarding the experience of being a new counselor educator. I look forward to further mentorship opportunities with you.To Dr. Bitter: Jim, thank you for everything. I still remember you saying, "You need to go to UNO and study with Dr. Barbara Herlihy." Without your encouragement I would not have applied to UNO, and thus not had the opportunity to work with amazing people. You have been, v and will continue to be, one of the most influential mentors, counselors, counselor educators, and people I will ever meet. Your passion for helping others, or as Adler would say "gemeinschaftsgefühl," is inspiring and a quality I hope to emulate with my work. Your mentorship served as the foundation for my development as a counselor and counselor educator, and for this I am grateful. I will always cherish your friendship.To Dr. Paradise: thank you for humor ...

“…More recently, Richardson and colleagues examined the body of literature on telemental health and also concluded that the treatment of many mental health conditions through telehealth can achieve clinical outcomes comparable to those achieved when the same treatments are provided face-to-face (Richardson, Frueh, Grubaugh, Egede, & Elhai, 2009). Their conclusion was drawn in part from the largest randomized and controlled telemental health trial (O'Reilly et al, 2007).…”

Objective: Evaluate the growth in various types ofMedicare-paid telehealth services.Background: There has been a long-standing hope that telehealth could be used to reduce rural patients' travel times to specialty physicians. Medicare covers telehealth services provided through live, interactive videoconferencing between a beneficiary located at a certified rural site and a distant practitioner. Methods: Results: Despite increases in Medicare paymentrates for telehealth services, expansions of covered services, reductions in provider requirements, and provisions of federal grants to encourage telehealth, growth in adoption of telehealth among providers has been modest. Medicare claims indicate that only 369 providers had 10 or more Medicare telehealth consultations in 2009. Roughly half of the 369 were mental health professionals, and about one-in-five of the 369 were non-physician professionals (e.g., physician assistants and nurse practitioners). On balance, the strong areas of telehealth are mental health and, surprisingly, nonphysician professionals. The comparative advantage of mental health could be the verbal (rather than physical contact) nature of mental health care, and the comparative advantage of non-physician professionals could be their lower labor costs.

[19][20][21][22][23][24] The initial evaluation of the MHEC-RAP during the establishment phase concluded that the program was helpful for both providers and patients. 25,26 The present study is part of a further evaluation and was designed to document longer-term changes in service use, identify gaps in services use and inform further service development.…”

Objective. To evaluate a rural emergency telepsychiatry program, the Mental Health Emergency Care-Rural Access Program (MHEC-RAP), which aims to improve access to emergency mental health care for communities throughout western New South Wales (NSW).Methods. A descriptive analysis of service activity data from the introduction of the MHEC-RAP in 2008 to 2011 using Chi-squared tests and linear regression modelling to assess change and trends over time.Result. There were 55 959 calls to the MHEC-RAP, 9678 (17%) of these calls initiated an MHEC-RAP service (~2500 each year). The use of video assessment increased over 18 months, then levelled off to an average of 65 each month. Health care provider use increased from 54% to 75% of all contacts, and 49% of MHEC-RAP patients were triaged 'urgent'. Most (71%) were referred from the MHEC-RAP for outpatient care with a local provider. The proportion of MHEC-RAP patients admitted to hospital initially increased by 12%, then declined over the next 2 years by 7% (by 28% for admissions to a mental health inpatient unit (MHIPU)).Conclusion. The MHEC-RAP is well established. It has achieved acceptable levels of service activity and continues to be as used as intended. Further research is required to confirm how the MHEC-RAP works in terms of process and capacity, how it has changed access to mental health care and to document its costs and benefits.
