A random sample of 100 low-income Hispanics was interviewed regarding patterns of health care utilization and perceptions of underutilization of health services by members of their community. Responses showed substantially low rates of utilization of preventive services although most respondents knew when care should be sought. Utilization rates of folk providers (Curanderos, yerberos, etc.) were minimal among this sample. Financial difficulties was the most significant reason given for respondents having never visited a private physician or dentist. When asked to rate why people in general do not receive appropriate care, economic difficulties and insurance were again mentioned as the most important reasons followed by such system barriers as lack of child care, time conflicts, long waits and language barriers
