| Annotation | This book provides a summary analysis of the clinical, sociological, policy and other literature relevant to understanding the key factors shaping the relationship between health need, demand, and health care utilisation. The context for this analysis is work being undertaken in the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre's (NPCRDC) programme on Population Health Need and Demand for Primary Care. Information has been organised under the headings of: patient need, demand and use of primary care; perspectives in the study of service utilisation; help-seeking and health care as a social process; the relevance of lay concepts and experience of illness for help-seeking; the relevance of social networks to help-seeking; individual self-care and lay care by others; organisational factors influencing demand for and use of services; and the influence of information on patient decision-making. |
