Why is it important?
Barriers to healthcare reported by young people are multi-dimensional and have changed over time. Structural barriers, especially cost, are the most prominent among young people.
Perspectives
Equitable access to healthcare is a priority for early diagnosis and treatment in young people, especially reducing out of pocket costs.
