A survey of the determinants of the pattern and degree of utilization of health services in two divisions of Western State, Nigeria was carried out. There was generally a close similarity between the two divisions in the choice and use of services even though one is "urban" and the other "rural" in terms of socioeconomic characteristics and available health facilities. The study showed that the choice of a particular service was based on a complex of factors, such as age, educational status, type of occupation, place of work, medical cost, the individual's perception of and attitudes towards services or dispensers of service, and the quality and location of the services. The individual effects of age, education, type of occupation or place of work on attitudes towards health services could only be inferred from the study; these need to be empirically investigated and validated. The implications of the determining factors for health planning and public health education are outlined.
对尼日利亚西部州两个分区卫生服务利用模式和程度的决定因素进行了一项调查。尽管在社会经济特征和可用卫生设施方面，一个分区是“城市”的，另一个是“农村”的，但在服务的选择和使用上，这两个分区总体上有密切的相似性。该研究表明，对特定服务的选择基于一系列复杂因素，如年龄、教育程度、职业类型、工作地点、医疗费用、个人对服务或服务提供者的认知和态度，以及服务的质量和地点。年龄、教育、职业类型或工作地点对卫生服务态度的个体影响只能从该研究中推断出来；这些需要进行实证研究和验证。概述了这些决定因素对卫生规划和公共卫生教育的影响。
