Why People Avoid Getting the Medical Care They Need: Uncovering the Barriers
Manage episode 414402671 series 3557033
It’s a common and concerning phenomenon: many people avoid seeking medical care even when they suspect they should. This avoidance can have serious consequences, from delayed diagnoses to untreated illnesses that worsen over time. So why do people put off doctor visits that could potentially save their lives or greatly improve their well-being? As it turns out, the reasons are numerous and complex, but they generally fall into three main categories: low perceived need for care, traditional barriers to access, and unfavorable evaluations of seeking medical care. By understanding these obstacles, we can develop strategies to help people overcome them and get the care they need. Discover Health Advocacy offers medical navigation assistance to address these issues, guiding individuals through the healthcare system to ensure they receive timely and appropriate care.
