  • 摘要:

    This study investigated the health care and social
    service needs, barriers to care and satisfaction with services
    among American Indians with HIV/AIDS in a western tribe.
    Individual interviews were conducted with 28 respondents,
    which constituted nearly the entire population obtaining
    HIV/AIDS medical services from the IHS in the target area.
    The survey found that expressed need for services in this
    frontier rural area were lower than urban counterparts, but
    that access to needed services was lower. Common unmet
    medical needs include mental health services, eye and
    dental care, traditional Native medicine, and substance
    abuse treatment. Common unmet social service needs
    include housing assistance, help obtaining food and clothing,
    and transportation. Limited access to essential services
    impedes the ability of American Indians with HIV/AIDS to
    maintain effective medical regimens.
