Abstract
This article focused on nonfinancial barriers to prenatal care and pointed out that these barriers cannot be ignored if access to care is to be improved. The strategies suggested by the Consensus Conferences for reducing these barriers provide abundant opportunities for all professionals, and the implications for health policy formulated by the Conferences provide direction for eventually eliminating the barriers. It will take a combination of professional, political and public will to make this happen.Keywords: Americas; Attitude; Behavior; Beliefs; Child Care; Child Rearing; Communication; Communication Programs; Culture; Delivery Of Health Care; Developed Countries; Distance; Economic Factors; Geographic Factors; Health; Health Personnel; Health Services; Human Resources; Information Distribution; Literature Review; Maternal Health Services; Maternal-child Health Services; North America; Northern America; Organization And Administration; Population; Prenatal Care; Primary Health Care; Program Acceptability; Program Accessibility; Program Evaluation; Programs; Psychological Factors; Transportation; United States
