Patterns of Health Care Utilization of Mexican American Women
Abstract
dc:descriptionStudies on the health care utilization patterns of Mexican Americans have traditionally focused on cultural differences and, at times, cost constraints to explain use. The type of health care services used (preventive, symptomatic, therapeutic) have seldom been differentiated. This study provides evidence that cultural differences and cost constraints do not fully account for utilization when types of services are differentiated. A third explanation, based on perceived inadequacies of the delivery system was also studied.
