Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Whilst this provides an estimate of the current “demand” and potential future “societal cost” of DCM, the practicalities of ensuring that people with DCM can access support is seldom straightforward, since social support systems differ by both jurisdiction and patient circumstance.

Simulation of Contraceptive Access for Adolescents and Young Adults Using a Pharmacist-Staffed e-Platform: Development, Usability, and Pilot Testing Study

Simulation of Contraceptive Access for Adolescents and Young Adults Using a Pharmacist-Staffed e-Platform: Development, Usability, and Pilot Testing Study

Despite evidence showing the value of access to sex education and contraceptive services in reducing pregnancy rates among AYA, laws restricting access to both are increasingly being introduced and passed in US state legislatures. Legal restrictions intensify barriers, such as cost, attending appointments, stigma, and more to accessing contraceptives [5,6], which disproportionately affects low-income, disabled, racial or ethnic minorities, and other marginalized women and other birthing people [7].

Access to Health Care and Use of Health Care Services Among Males in Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

To this end, the primary objective of this scoping review is to map evidence on males’ access to and use of health care services and identify gaps for targeted, context-specific strategies to improve males’ health outcomes, particularly in Africa. We will use a scoping review approach to map out existing evidence on males’ health-seeking behavior and access to and uptake of health care services in Africa.

Association Between Digital Front Doors and Social Care Use for Community-Dwelling Adults in England: Cross-Sectional Study

Association Between Digital Front Doors and Social Care Use for Community-Dwelling Adults in England: Cross-Sectional Study

Without accessible information and streamlined application procedures, individuals may be less able to access social care support, causing unmet needs to escalate [3,4]. Therefore, developing front door arrangements is crucial to ensure that people can access available and timely services, potentially preventing or delaying the escalation of care needs. Researchers and policy makers have recently become increasingly attentive to deploying digital front door arrangements to facilitate service access.

Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

In some cases, families were assisted to create email accounts, as this was required for account access. A subset of patients with high risk was additionally prioritized by the primary care sites for outreach. Patients were deemed high risk by the criteria of the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s children with special health care needs designation [8].

Opportunities to Address Specialty Care Deserts and the Digital Divide through the Veterans Health Administration’s Telehealth Hub-and-Spoke Cardiology Clinic: Retrospective Cohort Study

Access to specialty care varies widely across US geographic regions, a pattern that poses problems for the delivery of cardiology care within the Veterans Health Administration (VA) [1-3]. Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease and associated morbidity and mortality among veterans [4], maintaining access to cardiology care is essential.

This is especially concerning in the context of IHC, where expanded access to data raises the stakes for patients who could face negative consequences for past medical decisions, such as declining to seek treatment or noncompliance.

Scalable Technology for Adolescents and Youth to Reduce Stress in the Treatment of Common Mental Disorders in Jordan: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Scalable Technology for Adolescents and Youth to Reduce Stress in the Treatment of Common Mental Disorders in Jordan: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Compared to adults, young people are less likely to access mental health services due to reasons such as perceived stigma and limited knowledge about mental health [5]. Additionally, treatment is often designed for adults and may not be appropriate for younger adults [6]. There is a need for innovative approaches to increase access to mental health care.

Factors Influencing Primary Care Access for Common Mental Health Conditions Among Adults in West Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

In health care, access can be defined as “the opportunity to have healthcare needs fulfilled” [15]. Despite the prevalence of mental health conditions and the emphasis on access to primary care, the West African subregion has responded slowly to the burden of these disorders.

Mobile Phones and HIV Testing: Multicountry Instrumental Variable Analysis From Sub-Saharan Africa

However, mobile phones can also facilitate access to institutional resources (eg, by receiving informative SMS text messages from a health clinic, listening to radio, or, for those with access to a smartphone, surfing the internet). Evidence from rural Indonesia has shown that midwives’ use of mobile phones increased access to institutional resources and, consequently, fostered better reproductive health knowledge.
