A second purpose was to classify barriers using an ecological framework and to examine the pattern of barrier categories (i.e., intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community, public policy, and physical environmental) and specific barrier types as grade increased.
The inclusion of other guidelines could potentially yielded different patterns of barriers.
Exchange best-practice and experience between reference sites to identify patterns of barriers and possible solutions.
Further research is needed to elucidate levels and patterns of barriers in such populations.
We have identified ethnic differences in the prevalence and patterns of barriers to health care services that NZ women face.
Our study shows that factors that influence adherence vary markedly across recommendations, resulting in specific patterns of barriers for individual key recommendations.
Non-nationals are often denied access to healthcare, or provided lower standards of care as compared to their citizen counterparts, and research suggests patterns of barriers and limited access to care for undocumented noncitizens.

This pattern of perceived barriers and benefits results in a collective action problem where substantial cooperation is necessary to overcome barriers to HIE.
