Produktbeschreibung
An understanding of how HIV/AIDS care providers are
selected is a pre-requisite for enlightened HIV/AIDS
care policy. Using micro-level data from a sample of
986 people living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda, this book
examines the factors that affect the choice of
provider for in-patient and out-patient HIV/AIDS
care services. The findings indicated that price was
an important factor in the choice of provider for in-
patient and out-patient HIV/AIDS care services.
Another important finding of the study was that the
perceived quality of care had significant effects on
the selection of a health care provider. The
findings also highlighted the crucial role of
household and patient-specific characteristics in
influencing the choice of provider for HIV/AIDS care
services. The results indicated that age, gender,
education, wealth, employment status and severity of
illness played important roles in HIV/AIDS-care
seeking behaviour. Though this book will be
particularly relevant to policy makers and
researchers in the area of HIV/AIDS care, it will be
excellent reading for anyone interested and involved
in HIV/AIDS care service provision.
