Do Elderly Medicare Recipients Contact Physicians Appropriately
The category of episodes (visit recommended) for which predisposing personal attributes figure most strongly in the treatment decision is the one for which there are no clear cultural directives to action. Implications for health education and policy are drawn from the findings
Personal constitution and health status among Chinese elderly in Taipei and Los Angeles
Illness Episodes, Physician Visits, and Depressive Symptoms
Although there is a large literature examining the effects of distress on the demand for medical care, the data on which this literature is based are equivocal. Nonetheless, this literature is cited frequently by those who advocate a national mental health policy designed to produce a cost-effective "medical offset effect." In this study, longitudinal data on illness episodes, physician visits, and depressive symptoms were collected from 940 Medi…
Care Seeking for Musculoskeletal and Respiratory Episodes in a Medicare Population
Responses to episodes of musculoskeletal illness, musculoskeletal injury, and respiratory illness are examined separately. Data are from a 1-year longitudinal study of the illness experiences of 885 Medicare recipients. Unlike studies examining aggregate use of medical services, this study examines both episodes for which medical care was sought and episodes for which no medical care was sought. Both factors associated with the decision to seek m…
Psychological Distress and the Decision to Seek Medical Care Among a Medicare Population
Although there have been a number of studies linking psychological distress to the demand for medical care, few studies have examined this relationship among the aged. The issue is important, however, partly because it has been suggested that distress might cause some individuals to seek unneeded medical care. The financial impact of the aged seeking unneeded care on Medicare is, thus, a matter of public concern. This study presents results from …
Indicators of individual and community action for health promotion
The health of populations is determined by many factors, often beyond the scope of health programmes. Preventive health programmes aim at promoting the community and individual actions necessary for improved health status. Thus, for monitoring programmes, indicators are needed that are independent of health status measures. Based upon extensive literature review, this article presents a conceptual framework and several criteria for indicator deve…

Structural and Social Psychological Factors in the Decision to Seek Medical Care for Symptoms
Panel data are presented from the Los Angeles Health Survey, in which 1 year of symptom experience is analyzed. Of the 1,210 individuals originally in the panel, 769 reported at least one symptom in reinterviews conducted every 6 weeks during the study year. The dependent variable in the analysis is whether or not the individual decided to seek medical attention for his symptoms. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to organize the independe…
The effect of inadequate language translation on Hispanics' responses to health surveys
Data bearing on the effect of language of the interview on Hispanics' responses to a health survey in which no back-translation was undertaken reveal both lower reliabilities and lower bivariate correlations among Hispanics interviewed in Spanish than among Hispanics interviewed in English. An independent back-translation aimed at creating an English version of the questionnaire that was linguistically equivalent to the Spanish version indicated …

Awareness, opinion and behavioral intention of urban women regarding mammography
A representative sample of women living in metropolitan Los Angeles were asked what they heard and what they believed about mammography and whether they would obtain a mammogram if their doctor advised it. Forty percent of these women said they had not heard of mammography even after the procedure was described. Few of those who had heard of mammography had negative feelings about it. Further, 93 percent of the overall sample said they would obta…
Perceptions of Medical Care
Satisfaction with Health Services
Although consumer satisfaction with health services is a frequently measured variable in health services research, the relevance of this variable for health policy is not always clear. The present paper suggests two criteria for specifying the relevance of satisfaction with health services for policy at the organizational level. First, it should be shown that consumer satisfaction is the result of organizational behaviors that are manipulable by …
An Appraisal of Medicaid Records as a Data Source
This paper discusses the difficulties which were encountered in attempting to analyze cost and utilization data contained in Medicaid claims tapes. Three classes of problems were encountered: 1) inaccuracy; 2) missing data; and 3) lack of standardized reporting conventions. Taken together, these problems seriously compromised the ability of the investigator to make a meaningful analysis of the utilization experience which the data presumably reco…

Sociological Concomitants of Health Orientations
The present paper is a partial replication of the late Edward Suchman's study of health orientations in Washington Heights. Data were collected for a representative sample of Los Angeles County, and Suchman's medical orientation, health knowledge, and preventative behavior items were asked. In addition, several community orientation items that difler from Suchman's, but partake of the same theoretical domain as those he used were asked. The data …
Ethnic, Economic, and Social Psychological Factors in the Source of Medical Care
Research into the utilization of services is important theoretically as well as practically. From a review of the literature bearing on the use of health services, it may be seen that three alternative models of the determinants of such behavior emerge: 1) unequal access; 2) culture of poverty; 3) cultural and social psychological differences related to ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Data are presented on source of medical care for an area p…
Lay Conceptions of the Sick Role
This paper examines the validity of the conception of the sick role which underlies much research into illness behavior. The method by which this role conception is tested is the Multitrait-Multimethod matrix. The essentially negative findings of the matrix analysis support and expand recent findings of Twaddle (1969) and Gordon (1966), and they lend credence to the suggestion that the sick role as it is presently conceived is an inadequate unit …
