Abstract
Emphasis in the news media on health has provided the lay public with easier accessibility to information on health-related topics. Knowledgeable consumers are now demanding participation in decision-making affecting their own medical care. Traditionally, health programs were planned and administered almost exclusively by the medical profession. However, a wide representation of consumers of the medical system now serve on health councils and planning boards. Another means of recipient participation in health planning is consumer evaluation of existing programs. One problem with this type of study is that adults generally respond favourably when asked about the medical care they have received.
