Some Factors Affecting Utilization of Health Services Provided for Students of the University of Benin, Nigeria

WOLE ALAKIJA

Department of Community Health, College of Medical Sciences, University of Benin Benin City, Nigeria

Alakija W. Some factors affecting utilization of health services provided for the students of the University of Benin, Nigeria. Family Practice 1988; 5: 36–39.

Some of the factors affecting the utilization of the student health service at the University of Benin, Nigeria, were investigated. There was no significant sex difference in students' use of service nor was there a significant difference in the use of services by students of different faculties of the university. Significantly more use was made of medical centres than hospital out-patient departments and general practice clinics and this was attributed to the easy accessibility of the medical centres. The time spent in waiting to see the health providers was also important and accounted for more use of the medical centres. Other factors found to be important included student-medical staff relationships and avail ability of essential drugs
