Unmet Health Needs
Conditions
Brief summary
The concept of unmet health needs refers to the difference between health services thought necessary to treat a particular health problem and services actually received. A person who perceived the need to receive medical services but who has not obtained these services has unmet health care needs. Unmet health care may result from limited availability or unavailability of health care services, when or where they were required. Also it can be caused from individual accessibility problem, such as cost or transportation, or from acceptability problem, such as attitude toward and knowledge about health care.so, the investigators will assess the unmet health needs and identify the causes.
