Household data from a southern rural community are used to examine racial differences in the utilization of medical care services, and both monetary and nonmonetary determinants of demand are considered. Regression analysis results indicate that office waiting time (for black households) and travel time to the provider (for both black and white households) have a greater impact on demand than price. Racial differences exist in the effects of health insurance coverage and household income on household medical visit expenditures, and both need and household size are found to be consequential determinants of demand.
来自一个南方农村社区的家庭数据被用于研究医疗服务利用方面的种族差异，同时考虑了需求的货币和非货币决定因素。回归分析结果表明，（黑人家庭的）门诊候诊时间以及（黑人和白人家庭的）到医疗机构的出行时间对需求的影响比价格更大。医疗保险覆盖范围和家庭收入对家庭医疗就诊支出的影响存在种族差异，并且发现需求的重要决定因素既有需求本身又有家庭规模。
