 * Article Evaluation
 * - The article tackles the topic from many different yet relevant standpoints: looking at structural barriers, social barriers, specific issues for different subcultures of people, etc.
 * - Information and citations are drawn from reliable health journal sources such as the American Journal of Public Health and Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants
 * - Some sections could be further expanded and use more evidence
