Abstract: This report presents trends in the use of ambulatory care services by the U.S. population from 1987 to 1996. The authors examine the frequency with which people visit health care providers by setting of care (office, hospital outpatient, or emergency room) and reason for visit (prevention, diagnosis or treatment, or emergency), paying special attention to differences between 1987 and 1996. They also examine variation in trends across several variables, including age, race, sex, urban versus rural residence, region, income, insurance status, and health status. Data come from 1987 NMES and 1996 MEPS.
