Factors Influencing the Intention to Utilize Out-of-Pocket Health Checkup Services: A Sample of Citizens From 12 Townships of Taichung County in Taiwan

Abstract

Reinforcing disease- and health checkup-related knowledge may positively influence an individual's intention to utilize OOP health checkups. In addition, improving perceived convenience and reducing disease-screening barriers can intensify the individual's intention to use OOP health checkups. The influence of age, education level and OOP checkup charges should also be taken into consideration when related policies are formulated.
