摘要

法律服务公司最近的一项研究报告称,2017年,71%的美国低收入家庭至少遇到了一个民事法律问题,其中86%的需求没有得到解决。在本文中,我们研究了医疗-法律合作伙伴关系(mlp)解决这一“正义差距”的潜力。我们在一个儿童MLP中对20名家长和监护人进行了定性访谈,以确定合法获取的障碍,并研究MLP模式如何独特地解决这些障碍。我们的数据表明,mlp可以(1)识别法律需求,并在那些不会寻求法律服务的个人中建立法律权利意识;(2)建立法律服务接入点;(3)提高获得法律咨询和简短干预的机会;(4)支持患者和律师之间的持续关系,以便及时确定后续的法律需求;(五)树立对法制的信任和信心;(6)解决负担能力问题。这些研究结果表明,通过改善诉诸司法的机会,多目标计划可以解决健康问题的关键社会和法律决定因素,并最终促进卫生公平。

Reducing the Justice Gap and Improving Health through Medical-Legal Partnerships.

A recent study by the Legal Services Corporation reported that 71% of low-income U.S. households experienced at least one civil legal problem in 2017 and that 86% of these needs went unresolved. In this article, we examine the potential for medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) to address this "justice gap." We draw on qualitative interviews, conducted with 20 parents and guardians in one pediatric MLP, to identify barriers to legal access and examine how the MLP model may uniquely address these barriers. Our data suggest that MLPs can (1) identify legal needs and create awareness of legal rights among individuals who would not have sought legal services; (2) create an access point for legal services; (3) improve access to legal advice and brief intervention; (4) support ongoing relationships between patients and lawyers that allow for the timely identification of subsequent legal needs; (5) foster trust and confidence in the legal system; and (6) address affordability concerns. These findings suggest that by improving access to justice, MLPs can address critical social and legal determinants of health and, ultimately, advance health equity.
