Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of under-resourced populations?

Having regular access to health professionals is not a characteristic of under-resourced populations. Individuals in these populations typically encounter barriers that impede their ability to access healthcare consistently, such as financial constraints, lack of transportation, and limited availability of services in their communities. As a consequence, they often struggle to see healthcare providers on a regular basis.

In contrast, under-resourced populations may experience fewer health care services received due to these barriers, face significant economic challenges that inhibit their ability to pay for care, and may often delay seeking treatment until their health issues become severe or emergent, which can lead to poorer health outcomes. Thus, the correct answer highlights a key difference in access that is often not present in under-resourced groups.
