Therefore, we systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials comparing telehealth to face-to-face provision of SLP services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched Medline, Embase and Cochrane, clinical trial registries, and conducted a citation analysis to identify trials. We included randomized trials comparing similar care delivered live via telehealth (phone or video), to face-to-face. Primary outcomes included: % syllables stuttered (%SS) (for individuals who stutter); change in sound pressure levels monologue (for individuals with Parkinson's disease); and key function scores (for other areas). Where data were sufficient, mean differences were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Nine randomized controlled trials were included; eight evaluated video and one evaluated phone telehealth. Risk of bias was generally low or unclear, excepting blinding. There were no significant differences at any time-point up to 18 months for %SS (mean difference, MD 0.1, 95% CI \u22120.4 to 0.6,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.70). For people with Parkinson's disease, there was no difference between groups in change in sound pressure levels (monologue) (MD 0.6, 95% CI \u22121.2 to 2.5,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.49). Four trials investigated interventions for speech sound disorder, voice disorder and post-stroke dysphagia and aphasia; they found no differences between telehealth service delivery and face-to-face delivery.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evidence suggests that the telehealth provision of SLP services may be a viable alternative to their provision face-to-face, particularly to people who stutter and people with Parkinson's disease. The key limitation is the small number of randomized controlled trials, as well as evidence on the quality of life, well-being and satisfaction, and economic outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633x241272976","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,10]],"date-time":"2024-10-10T08:54:44Z","timestamp":1728550484000},"page":"1203-1215","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Telehealth versus face-to-face delivery of speech language pathology services: A systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0109-9001","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna M","family":"Scott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK"},{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6499-2705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magnolia","family":"Cardona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4564-6859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tiffany","family":"Atkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruwani","family":"Peiris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5127-4667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah","family":"Greenwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel","family":"Wenke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gold Coast Health, Southport, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Cardell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health Services, Griffith University, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Glasziou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond University, Robina, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09638288.2010.511685"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2006.01631.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","article-title":"Speech and language therapy interventions for children with primary speech and\/or language disorders","volume":"2017","author":"Law J","year":"2017","unstructured":"Law J, Dennis JA, Charlton JJV.
