EXAMINING THE PREVALENCE AND DETERMINANTS OF PERSISTENTLY HIGH PRIMARY CARE USE AMONG NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLLEES OF A HEALTHCARE FACILITY IN KANO, NORTHWEST NIGERIA.
The prevalence of PHC users was low. However, they consumed 3 to 4 times more resources than the other enrollees. More robust studies will be required to ascertain the complete picture in order to provide appropriate interventions needed to reduce inappropriate/unnecessary visits and cost of care.
