In June 2020, the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging (NPHA) surveyed a national sample of U.S. adults age 50–80 about their experiences related to telehealth visits; this was a follow-up to a similar NPHA survey conducted with a different national sample in May 2019. These surveys offer a unique opportunity to see how much has changed over the past year, which saw COVID-19 disrupt daily life in an unprecedented way.
