Health Services Utilization: Physician Utilization, 1996 to 1997

During 1997 close to 80% of Canadians made use of the services of a family physician. For Canada as a whole, and for each province, the majority of the population, close to 58%, visited a family physician more than twice during that time period. Health services utilization patterns, for both individuals and for regions, are influenced by factors like age, gender, self-rated health status, education, and income.
