Help-seeking behavior and health care navigation by Bhutanese refugees.
The objective of this study was to document barriers to care, help-seeking behaviors, and the impact of a community-based patient navigation intervention on patient activation levels among Bhutanese refugees in the U.S. Following the intervention, only one-third reported the lowest level of patient activation and one-third were highly activated. Bhutanese refugees overcome healthcare access barriers by seeking help from a network of support that begins within the community.
