This article describes the results of three focus groups conducted with a variety of children's health care providers in a county in the southeastern United States. The purpose of the research was to investigate practitioners' views on the barriers impeding access to health care for medically underserved children. The focus groups were the third phase of a larger study designed to collect data on communication patterns among children's health care providers as well as information on children's access to care. The results include suggestions for actions practitioners can take to improve medically underserved children's access to health care.
