本文探讨了卫生保健利用的障碍和相关因素与这些障碍。作为一个更大的卫生服务利用研究的一部分，研究样本1085，包括注射吸毒者，海洛因或可卡因的其他慢性用户，以及人口统计学上类似的组谁没有使用海洛因或可卡因，选择的标准是没有接受医疗保健的至少一个健康问题在过去的12个月。这两类慢性吸毒者比非吸毒者更有可能不想要医疗保健治疗并推迟寻求所需的医疗保健。
This paper examines barriers to health care utilization and the correlates associated with these barriers. As part of a larger study of health services utilization, the study sample of 1085 including injection drug users, other chronic users of heroin or cocaine, and a demographically similar group who had used neither heroin nor cocaine, was selected based on the criterion of not having received health care for at least one health problem within the previous 12 months. Both categories of chronic drug users were more likely than non-users not to want health care treatment and to put off seeking needed health care.
