    Abstract

    En 中文
    Individuals who come from vulnerable groups such as those from racial or ethnic minorities and/or those from low socioeconomic groups have a high prevalence of obesity but are less likely to receive metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS). This is believed to be related to inequities in access to MBS due to travel (those living in rural communities), financial burden, and/or lack of education. The objective of this study is to understand the impact of telemedicine interventions on improving access to MBS in such groups.
