Access to sexual and reproductive health care services: young men's perspectives
1a Baylor College of Medicine , Houston , Texas , USA.
Abstract:
This study aimed to identify health issues that affect young men and the barriers they experience in accessing care. Participants were 48 minority men 18-28 years old, distributed among 9 focus groups. Four main themes emerged in the study. First, the authors identified sexually transmitted infections, mental health problems, and drug use as major health issues. Second, participants identified attitudinal and institutional barriers to accessing care. This included denial; fear; embarrassment; perception that it is not considered manly to seek help; cost; and accessibility. Third, focus group participants felt that services have to be augmented in order to address the specific needs of men. Last, participants suggested strategies to attract men to family planning clinics that are consistent with a youth culture. Focus groups are effective in obtaining input in order to augment services for men.
