The poll found that 45% of adults aged 65 to 80, and 42% of all adults aged 50 to 80, said they had not set up an account with their health provider’s portal system.

But a new study led by Renuka Tipirneni, M.D., M.Sc., assistant professor of internal medicine, and Paula Lantz, Ph.D., M.S., M.A., professor of public policy, shows just how unevenly those deaths and cases have played out across the country.
