“…It is a challenge for psychologists in rural practice to deliver services to those most in need (Schopp, Johnstone, & Reid-Arndt, 2005). Telehealth is the use of communication technology, such as videoconferencing, audiovisual, e-mail, and phone, to provide health-related care, and is increasingly playing a role in psychological research and practice (Folen, James, Verschell, & Earles, 2005; Jerome et al, 2000). Telehealth interventions have positively influenced outcome measures of physical health and psychological well-being and have served many client populations including dementia patients and their caregivers (Glueckauf, Ketterson, Loomis, & Dages, 2004; Smith & Toseland, 2006; Topo, 2009), those with chronic illnesses and depression (Glueckauf & Ketterson, 2004; Mohr, Vell, Hart, Mechkman, & Simon, 2008).…”

The provision of services to informal caregivers, such as family, friends, and neighbors, in rural areas provides unique challenges for professional psychologists. The Telehelp Line for Caregivers, a clinical telehealth multicomponent intervention for rural caregivers is described. Supportive services and resources through the Telehelp Line for Caregivers were provided during structured telephone counseling sessions. Caregiver knowledge, problem-solving skills, and help-seeking behavior and affect were the major components addressed. An eight-session structured telephone intervention and a call-in helpline was available. All components were available but tailored to individual participants based on caller presenting concems and assessed needs. The benefits of a telehealth intervention for rural caregivers are addressed, as well as issues related to the applicability of telehealth services in professional practice.

“…RHBHP has used telehealth technology to expand and advance training, supervision, and service delivery in isolated rural communities.

Health care access issues present significant challenges for rural populations and health providers. Psychology can support improved access and quality of rural health services through the development of integrated behavior health programs within primary care settings. This article reviews a clinical training and service delivery program, the Rural Hawai'i Behavioral Health Program, which has evolved in response to the pressing health needs of Native Hawaiians in rural communities. Native Hawaiian cultural factors and components of the primary care model that have supported the development of this program will be reviewed. Program expansion, sustainability, and treatment efficacy research will be discussed.

Health psychology and behavioral medicine are interdisciplinary fields devoted to developing and integrating the biomedical, behavioral, psychological, and social sciences and approaches to better understand health and illness, and to applying these sciences and approaches to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. They have a wide range of research and clinical foci and applications across an array of health‐related behavior problems and goals across multiple contexts and settings. Behavioral and psychophysiological assessments and treatments, as well as multimethod, multimodal, and multisource assessments, are emphasized. Their conceptual and scientific foundation is based on the biopsychosocial model, behavior change theories, and personality constructs. Their historical and philosophical foundation predates psychology as a distinct discipline. Developing areas in the field include sociocultural applicability, translational research, health disparities, new and emerging technologies in providing health care, accessibility of health psychology to the public, and the public health needs of less developed countries.
