    Author: Greenlick MR, Hurtado AV, Pope CR, Saward EW, Yoshioka SS.
    Journal: Health Serv Res; 1968; 3(4):296-315. PubMed ID: 5700372.
    Abstract:
    A multidimensional approach to the study of the factors that determine medical care utilization is described, based on the hypothesis that different sets of social, economic, and situational background characteristics are significant determinants of utilization in different disease situations. The patterns of utilization are studied in the setting of a prepaid group practice plan for comprehensive medical care with a membership of over 100 000. Preliminary findings are presented on the characteristics of the sample population, the patterns of medical care utilization, and the utilization for various types of morbidity.
