Access to Infant Immunizations for Poor, Inner-City Families: What Is the Impact of Managed Care?

Wood, David; And Others

Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, v5 n2 p112-23 1994

Measured the impact of managed care on the utilization of preventive health-care services by 867 inner-city Los Angeles families and assessed the relationship between insurance type, source of care, and access to immunization services. Results show that, lacking financial incentives, managed care is unlikely to improve immunization rates among this population. (GLR)
