虽然非裔美国人的性传播感染率高于其他人群，但在非裔美国人青少年性传播感染的筛查和治疗方面存在差异。许多非裔美国人不信任医疗保健系统，导致不愿意寻求医疗保健。青少年可能缺乏获得保健的机会和支付保健费用的资源。本文回顾了历史事件，认为影响非裔美国人不信任的医疗保健系统，讨论了影响青少年获得服务的社会经济因素，并提供服务，以帮助青少年接受预防服务的描述。最后，指出了护士的潜在健康政策解决方案。
Although rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in African Americans are higher than other populations, there are disparities in the screening and treatment of STIs for African American adolescents. Many African Americans distrust the health care system, resulting in a reluctance to seek health care. Adolescents may lack access to and the resources to pay for health care. This article reviews historical events believed to influence African American distrust of the health care system, discusses socioeconomic factors influencing adolescent access to services, and offers descriptions of services available to assist adolescents in receiving preventative services. Last, potential health policy solutions for nurses are noted.
