  • Title: Distance and the use of mental health services.
    Author: Shannon GW, Bashshur RL, Lovett JE.
    Journal: Milbank Q; 1986; 64(2):302-30. PubMed ID: 3086685.
    Abstract:
    The inverse relationship between distance from mental health services and their use has been noted over many decades and on several continents. Although many factors--diagnostic, socioeconomic, and nosocomial--may modify this correlation, its persistence is remarkable. As other barriers to use are diminished, distance remains a mutable variable for planning more effective use of many health care services.
