The study identified which of the four facilitators (themselves, agents, insurers, or doctors) consumers are most likely to use when they travel for various medical procedures. A survey conducted between 2011 and 2014 yielded 964 responses. The multinomial logistic regression results showed that being 51-64 years old was positively related to going on their own or using agents to arrange for knee replacements. Having a high school education or less was positively linked to using both agents and insurers to facilitate knee replacements, whereas having a bachelor's degree was negatively associated with going on their own for stem cell therapy.
该研究确定了消费者在因各种医疗程序出行时最有可能使用的四位协助者（他们自己、代理机构、保险公司或医生）中的哪一位。2011年至2014年期间进行的一项调查得到了964份回复。多项逻辑回归结果表明，51至64岁与自行安排或使用代理机构安排膝关节置换呈正相关。高中及以下学历与使用代理机构和保险公司协助膝关节置换呈正相关，而拥有学士学位与自行进行干细胞治疗呈负相关。
