“…The American Telemedicine Association Practice Guidelines for TMH Care [35] and Video-Based Online Mental Health Services do not cover all the new nooks and crannies of the technology innovations [36]. The former focuses on synchronous standards and the latter on initiation and reception of services using personal computer with a webcam or a mobile communications device (e.g., "smart phone", laptop, or tablet; with two-way camera capability.…”

“…If a patient follows inaccurate advice, he/she may have a bad outcome or may have longer suffering due to delayed access of the "right" or better care option).

“…Therefore, guidelines are also on a temporal, non-linear spectrum, starting with synopsis of guidelines on eMH/TMH, texting/e-mail, social media, professionalism, and Internet-based care; person/patientcentered health information and experimental treatments are less well-developed, but have been put out due to concerns, cautions and critical incidents ( Table 3). The ultimate judgment regarding the care of a particular patient must be made by the clinician in light of all circumstances presented by the patient and his or her family, the diagnostic and treatment options available, and available resources -and in light of all pertinent clinical, administrative and regulatory circumstances.Traditional TMH care Guidelines: The adult ATA TMH Guideline, AACAP Practice Parameter and the Telepsychiatry Committee of AACAP form a foundation for this paper, as they cover the approach, scope, clinical, administrative and technical aspects of services for adults and children and adolescent patients [35,120]. Child and adolescent MH practice poses significant differences from adult practice in terms of scope of practice, the diversity of providers and the variety of specialized settings [121].…”

Background: Web and Internet-based resources are remarkably popular with the public, patients and others as a way to access mental health information, tools for self-care, advice/consultation from a professional, and providerdirected treatments.Objective: This paper provides a framework of a spectrum that includes person-centered health education options (conceptual endpoint), patient and caregiver-centered mental health care interventions (evidence-based literature review), and more formal provider-directed treatments (conceptual endpoint). Methods:The evidence-based literature review was focused on treatment studies, using a minimum of three key words and the 1996-2015 period, resulting in 13,612 articles. This was reduced to 388 (title words used), to 125 (abstracts for methods, design, and outcomes) and 40 (evidence-based criteria of guidelines). Results:Technology is frequently used, is readily accessible and satisfies persons, patients, and caregivers. Its impact on openness to engage with others and begin self-care appears very positive; its ability to help people change behaviors and engage additional clinical services appears modest, though this is inadequately evaluated. Formal treatments over the Internet, asynchronous care models, or traditional video-based synchronous services are as good as or better than in-person services, though an incomplete range of services has been evaluated. Relatively few treatment studies assess outcomes, compare in-person and e-MentalHealth care, and or compare technology-based care options to one another; hybrid models of care have emerged, but have rarely been studied. Conclusions:For persons or patients not in care, use of the internet for common, non-acute problems appears to work, though a one-time clinical evaluation may help them place options in context. Clinicians and patients should specifically plan how to use technology and exercise sound judgment, based on guidelines when available. More research is needed on the application of new technologies to clinical care, with randomized trials and health services studies for effectiveness suggested. Internet-based mental health (MH) education and services are on the rise, as more patients, caregivers, and MH providers are using the Internet. This is driven by consumers or persons at-large, before they become patients in traditional services, and transitions our thinking from clinic-based care past patient-centered care to person-centered care known as participatory medicine [19][20][21]. MH-related, technology-based services exist on a continuum: self-help/support groups -well-prepared materials for patient psychoeducation and provider professional education -tips for assessment and selfcare (e.g., depression) -informal provider consultation online -asynchronous communication with providers -MH services with professionals like teleMH ((TMH) care or; Internet-based cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].

“…[7][8][9] It allows for real-time communication through audio and video equipment between groups or individuals anywhere on the Internet. 10,11 VC has several advantages for research. It is viable, convenient, and cost-effective for research at multiple sites as an alternative to in-person interviewing, eliminating time-consuming and expensive travel 12,13 and allowing participants in remote locations to participate.…”

Background: Videoconferencing (VC) systems are increasingly recognized as a viable means of enhancing communication across different geographic regions and have been used within multiple settings. Until now, despite increased use and diverse applications, VC has received relatively little attention as a data collection tool in qualitative research. The literature on preferred data collection methods for sensitive topics offers different perspectives, with no clear consensus on the best approach for collecting sensitive data. We sought to determine if VC is a feasible tool for eliciting sexual history from participants in a vaginal microbicide study. Subjects and Methods: Fifty-nine young women who participated in a Phase 1 microbicide safety and acceptability study at three sites (Tampa, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; and San Juan, Puerto Rico) were interviewed through VC from New York City. During the third VC session, participants gave feedback on their experience using the method. Results: Most of the participants reported that they preferred VC to phone-only interviews. Participants noted that because of the sensitive nature of the interviews, geographical distance from the interviewer facilitated disclosure. Despite some technical problems, such as the time delay in video transmission and occasional loss of connection, participants expressed a high degree of satisfaction with using VC. Conclusions: VC seems to be a feasible alternative form of conducting in-depth interviews on sensitive topics. VC enables data collection from geographically dispersed research participants without the cost and time burden of traveling to sites or developing local interviewer capabilities when the number of interviews is small.

“…We believe that the psychiatry profession will soon create similar recommendations for telepsychiatry. So far, the American Telemedicine Association has established guidelines for videoconferencing-based telemental health [8], and Shore [9] has written a thoughtful and practical overview of administrative and clinical issues involving telepsychiatry. Such guidelines are especially and increasingly important in the USA, where roughly 25 % of the population lives in the rural and frontier contexts that represent 75 % of the nation's land mass.…”
