Some of the biggest obstacles include:
- Lack of access to quality or affordable care
- Cultural stigma and fear of being judged
- Language barriers
- Mistrust of the medical system
- Not enough providers who understand their backgrounds

What lack of sleep does to the teenage brain - Wendy Troxel
Dig into how sleep deprivation affects the teenage body and brain, and what can be done to help adolescents get enough sleep.
--
Sleep deprivation among American teenagers is an epidemic. Only about 1 in 10 teens gets the 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night recommended by sleep scientists and pediatricians. So, what’s going on? And what changes can be made to address this issue? Wendy Troxel shares how early school start times and public policy are depriving adolescents of sleep at a time when they need it most.
