Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between duration of residence and access to ambulatory care among Caribbean immigrant adolescents. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of adolescents at a New York City high school was conducted. Multivariate modeling methods were used to adjust for demographic and socioeconomic covariates. RESULTS: Duration of residence was strongly and directly associated with access to ambulatory care after adjustment for ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS: Caribbean immigrant adolescents, particularly recent immigrants, have reduced access to ambulatory care.
