Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The results of this study should be contextualized within its limitations. There were no precise service data available that described the exact proportion of services delivered via telehealth vs. those delivered in-person during the pandemic. Data from the Idaho Office of the Governor indicates a 40-fold increase in telehealth sessions from March through May 2020.20 However, more data are needed in order to better contextualize the findings and to directly investigate the relationship between caregiver transportation needs, telehealth service delivery, and child-level outcomes. Substantially fewer children were served in Idaho in 2020 compared to 2019. Matched pre- and during-pandemic samples were largely comparable based on demographic and clinical variables, but the unmatched number of children served and number of CANS assessments done in April-December 2020 was nearly half those during the same time period in 2019. While this reduction in care delivery is consistent with some documented trends of reduced healthcare delivery in the US during the pandemic,31 we cannot rule out that some other sample-specific factors mitigated the impact of transportation. Given the remaining large sample size, we can rule out statistical power as a potential threat to the validity of this study. The intensity and quality of care differences are unknown. It is possible that children served during pandemic received fewer, shorter-length or less organized services. However, results indicated ...
