Access to healthcare difficult for migrant and refugee young people

Published in the Australian Journal of General Practice, the research focused on youth in south west and western Sydney. Lead researcher Jessica Botfield said the research clearly showed these young people were worried about being judged by health professionals and said they couldn't talk with family or members of their cultural communities about these issues.

"Migrants, refugees and international students are all at risk of finding it difficult to access sexual and reproductive health services and many fear being judged or having their trust broken by service providers," Ms Botfield said.
