Abstract
The selection of a physician for prenatal care was studied as a model of the generic process of choosing a physician. The results suggest that factors important in this process are similar to those relating to satisfaction with care: physician competence, cost and convenience, and personal qualities. Women selecting obstetricians for prenatal care placed a higher emphasis on physician competence, whereas those selecting family physicians placed a greater emphasis on cost and convenience.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
