Adult Health-Care Demand And Risk Management Methods by Georges Menahem
The paper shows how allowance for individual attitudes to risk can improve the "health-care demand" model. The assumption that individuals differ according to the level of overall risk that they are prepared to accept produces a coherent analysis of state of health, demand for medical care, and prevention "investment". Logistic regressions for a representative cross-section of the French population consisting of 13 150 adults show that this level of "programmed risk" correlates positively with declared morbidity and objective morbidity in terms of medical consumption. Conversely, it correlates negatively with prophylactic medical visits. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
