Abstract

Implementing preventive health care for young children provides the best chance of improving health and changing a child s life course. In Australia, despite government support for preventive health care, uptake of preventive services for young children is low. Using Andersen s behavioural model of health-care utilization, we aimed to understand how parents conceptualized their children s preventive health care and how this impacted on access to preventive health-care services.
