Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Two studies on consumer information search and decision strategies involved in the selection of family health care providers are reported.

The second study explored differences among individuals in self-reported presence of a regular health care provider and use of recent innovations in health care such as walk-in clinics and HMOs.
