Barriers to Accessing Urogynecologic Care: A Single-Site Survey Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to identify how structural and informational barriers to accessing urogynecologic care differ by race and neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Their findings revealed that Black patients faced more significant barriers, including longer travel times and a greater likelihood of reporting multiple obstacles, compared to White patients, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.
