Determinants of delayed healthcare access and stigma associated with pandemic SARS-CoV-2 infec-tion: findings from a pilot study in the immigrant population in Catania (Sicily Region, Southern Italy).
health services seem to be accessible and effective among the immigrant population in Catania. However, identified determinants of delayed healthcare access included factors concerning mainly health literacy and possibly the socioeconomic status of the population studied. Primary prevention issues that need to be addressed due to low awareness or stigmatization among the immigrant population include antibiotic use and resistance, and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
