Addressing health inequalities and barriers to access among adolescent migrants in Chile: a mixed methods study
Adolescent migrants in Chile face important social inequalities in health compared to locals and additional barriers to exercise their right to health, putting their current and future health at risk. Priority actions are needed for this specific group, and must focus on increasing the acceptability and coverage of preventive care, as well as strengthening their participation in the social and health decisions affecting them.
