Healio (11/6, Kellner ) reports, “Most adolescents and young adults said they would hesitate to share sensitive information” with their health care physicians “if they thought their parents could access it through online patient portals, according to a survey.” Researchers found that “55% of participants said they would change how much sensitive information they would share … and 50% would hesitate to create a portal account if their parents could see it.” The findings were published in JAMA Pediatrics.
