Why is it important?
To achieve equity in health outcomes for marginalised youth populations, access to timely, affordable and appropriate health care is a major social determinant of health.
Perspectives
What surprised us about the results was that although we found 68 studies focused on marginalized young people and they came from a range of marginalised groups, they only studied one marginalised group at a time. We concluded that future research should explore the impact of multiple disadvantage and the potential of technologies.
