What Are the Consequences of Ignoring Systemic Barriers?
Ignoring systemic barriers can have far-reaching consequences. It can lead to ineffective public health interventions, as the needs of marginalized groups may not be addressed. Additionally, it can perpetuate health inequities, as certain populations may continue to face higher disease burdens without appropriate interventions. Policymakers and healthcare providers may also be misinformed, leading to resource misallocation.
