The GAO said that barriers to mental health services for children persist in greater New Orleans mostly due to a lack of transportation for patients, competing family priorities, and fear of stigmatization (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d09563.pdf). Hiring and retaining primary care clinicians also remains a challenge (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d09588.pdf). In both instances, however, federal grants are helping to address these problems.
