NEW in @JMIR from @JB_Everson, @nicolesenft and #VandyMPH student Evan Butler: Policies to reduce disparities in e-health activities among socioeconomic groups may have had an unintended effect. jmir.org/2019/10/e14976 
The study examined trends in eHealth disparities before and after the introduction of federal financial incentives. They compared patient-provider messaging (incentivized), and, basically, googling health information (not incentivized).
They found widening disparities in provider messaging over time, even after federal policies incentivized greater use of these e-health tools.
