Study Results

To investigate the process by which families identified and selected their children's current physicians, a close-ended questionnaire was administered to 750 families in a mail panel. Of 630 responses (84.0%), 244 had children in the home; 229 (93.9%) identified a regular and current physician for their youngest child. However, parents did not spend much time or energy selecting a physician and rarely explored medical expertise in their decisions. Families averaged 1.2 sources of information consulted per decision; few considered more than two physician choices and infrequently considered alternative types of doctors (pediatricians v family or general practitioners). selection priorities ranked in order of importance concerned parents' perceptions of their doctors' communication skills, accessibility, and quality as determined by recommendations of friends or physicians. Parents appeared less concerned with issues of cost and convenience. Families selecting pediatricians differed from those selecting family and general practitioners in sources of information used and selection priorities. The survey also identified 84 families who had changed or seriously considered changing the physician who was caring for their youngest child. The most frequent dissatisfaction was the perception that an illness was not being managed adequately, followed by believing that the doctor or staff were rude or unconcerned. Families unhappy with pediatricians expressed different reasons from those unhappy with family or general practitioners. The study results provide insight about the first step in obtaining child health care services, a relatively unexplored area of patient decision making.
