Data were obtained from 2,214 older Chinese immigrants who completed a verbally administered questionnaire. Findings revealed that service barriers were associated with administrative problems in delivery, cultural incompatibility, personal attitudes, and circumstantial challenges. Findings indicated that among the predictors of these barriers were female gender, being single, being an immigrant from Hong Kong, shorter length of residency in Canada, less adequate financial status, having nobody to trust or confide in, stronger identification with Chinese health beliefs, and not being self-identified as Canadian. Findings are discussed in detail. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
