• Description:
  Due to increasing concern over many prob­ lems surrounding the accessibility of health care, particularly ambulatory care, there is a need for information to answer the following kinds of questions: How many Americans have a regular source of care? What reasons do people give for not having a regular source of care? To what specific types of health care places do people with a regular source of care usually go? Whether or not people have a regular source of care, to what extent do they contact office-based sources of care as contrasted to hospital-based sources or clinics that are not associated with hospitals? What proportion of the popula­ tion uses a telephone to get help or advice about a health problem? How many Americans have a doctor visit them at home? How many Ameri­ cans have problems getting medical care? Do people feel that they are getting all the care they need? ; This report presents data that bear directly on these questions. Information was obtained from a one-third subsample of respondents to the 1974 Health Interview Survey who reported for themselves or for a child under 17 years of age. ; ad017acc.pdf
