## Ongoing AMC Global research reveals routine medical visits, dental appointments, and recommended screenings for adults and children are being delayed during COVID-19

The latest research wave with our partner,[OpinionRoute,](https://www.opinionroute.com/)shows that Americans are still delaying routine medical, dental and health screening visits. They are also handling prescriptions mostly via phone calls, and are reporting increased usage of vitamins and supplements during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can see [a full representation of the data here](https://news.amcglobal.com/hubfs/AMC%20Global%20Week%2012%20Healthcare%20Summary.pdf) or click on the callout below.
