Factors influencing intentional non-utilization of healthcare: a study using the Andersen model
This study showed that unmarried individuals with lower income and job instability exhibit reduced healthcare utilization due to economic barriers and lack of social support. Furthermore, medical service experience is another crucial factor affecting health service utilization. Notably, our findings suggest the need for targeted interventions, including enhanced insurance coverage, improving the quality of medical services and health education campaigns to mitigate disparities in access to health services.
