Dual Utilization of Medical Services by Low Income Latino Families: An Exploratory Investigation.
Coe, Merilyn
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v7 n4 p401-13 Dec 1985
Interviews with 50 low income family members who used two health care providers--Kaiser Health Maintenance Organization and La Clinica de La Raza--were used to study how cost, need, access, services, and culture affected choice of provider. Cultural affinity seemed to influence decisions to use and pay for La Clinica's services. (JHZ)
