Consumer health
1983
Corry, James M.
Abstract: A consumer guide/textbook provides the general public/post secondary student with factual, reliable information about medical goods and services, and aids the development or improvement of consumer skills related to value assessment, assertiveness, bargaining, data collection and analysis and decision-making. Emphasis is placed on obtaining verifiable proof of the quality of health products and services. Guidance is given for a number of health topics (e.g., to assist the proper selection of: a physician, allied health services, drugs, medical plans, funeral home, health goods, etc.). Detailed chapters cover the consumer and nutrition, consumer protection legislation, and consumer health education. Consumer skills are fostered by values clarification exercises found throughout each of the 16 chapters. (wz).
