This study investigates the barriers to health care faced by runaway adolescents. A convenience sample of 89 street youth located through community agencies was surveyed to elicit their perceptions of barriers to care. Results indicated that these youth experience a wide range of barriers to health care, both objective and subjective. They also experience fears with regard to receiving health care, many of which seem developmental in nature. The relative isolation of these youth compounds the objective barriers they face, yet many overcame these barriers and received needed care.
本研究调查了离家出走青少年所面临的医疗保健障碍。通过社区机构选取了89名街头青少年作为便利样本进行调查，以了解他们对医疗保健障碍的看法。结果表明，这些青少年在医疗保健方面面临着各种各样的客观和主观障碍。他们在接受医疗保健时也存在恐惧，其中许多恐惧似乎具有发育方面的性质。这些青少年相对孤立的状态加剧了他们所面临的客观障碍，但许多人克服了这些障碍并获得了所需的护理。
