Health indicators.

This paper examines the more general background to health indicators. It deals with the relation between health and social indicators, before examining the health concept. It discusses possible purposes for which health indicators should be developed, and gives some of the important data sources for this exercise. The paper contains some less traditional examples of health indicators as mainly applied in The Netherlands. Finally, it draws conclusions on the possibilities of developing health indicators.

Attitudes toward health in social networks: their influence on physician utilization.

Many variables contribute to medical consumption. This study concentrates on those that can relate to health education, namely, (1) attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral intentions concerning health and medical care and (2) the influence of the patient's social network on medical consumption. Both complexes appear to influence the number of physician visits by three selected groups of patients. Emotional components are more influential than cognitive ones. Support from the social network appears to reinforce rather than replace professional help. The question is how health educators can adjust strategies to these findings.
