In a recent survey of Texas seniors, Hispanic students were significantly less likely to report that they know "a lot" about the TTP Plan, a pattern that holds even among TTP students with a preference to attend a four-year university (Niu et al., 2006a).
Two analyses of variance were first conducted to determine if there was an overall preference to attend to one face type over the other.
Kelly et al. [19], [20] and Bar-Haim, Ziv, Lamy, and Hodes [21] reported that infants as young as 3 months of age demonstrate a preference to attend to own-race faces over other-race faces, but newborns did not show such a preference [19].
They expressed a preference to attend a health setting such as a GP surgery or hospital and for 'someone else' to undertake the screening on their behalf.
We have found that women and their families expressed a preference to attend the health facility for ANC services and for delivery.
Patients expressing a preference for a GP within the same practice were as likely to see a GP outside of their own practice as patients who expressed a preference to attend any practice (15% v 20%, X2 = 1.0, 1df, p = 0.3).
HSPs from health centres in Nairobi indicated that some HSP who do not actually come into contact with young people (such as administrators) were given preference to attend training at the expense of HSP who actually serve young people.
Significantly greater proportions of service users in the second survey (after the introduction of the 2006 dental contract) indicated a preference to attend in the evenings (p = 0.0001) and at a weekend (p = 0.02) (Table 10).
This inexperience may explain the tendency for some young people in the sample to have a preference to attend walk-in centres, which allows them to avoid arranging an appointment with their GP surgery: "I just don't like making appointments, not always very good at remembering stuff, so I'd rather just sort of walk in".
The existence of independent and mutually disconnected TB and HIV care systems results in a wastage of scarce health sector resources, an increased burden on patients' time and finances, and ignores evidence of patients' preference to attend an integrated service[ 10, 15].
