Description:Data from the National Health Interview Survey
• In 2019, 32.3% of women and 26.0% of men had one or more visits to an urgent care center or retail health clinic in the past 12 months.
• Urgent care center or retail health clinic utilization decreased as age increased for both men and women.
• Among both men and women, non-Hispanic white adults were more likely to have one or more urgent care center or retail health clinic visits than Hispanic, non-Hispanic black, or non-Hispanic Asian adults.
• Urgent care center or retail health clinic utilization increased with increasing education level.
Urgent care centers and health clinics within grocery or retail stores can provide acute health care services for nonemergencies, and they can also provide preventive care services, such as routine vaccinations (1). The availability and utilization of urgent care has risen dramatically in recent years (1,2). This report examines urgent care center and retail health clinic visits among adults in the past 12 months by sex and selected characteristics.
