Few Americans Receive All High-Priority, Appropriate Clinical Preventive Services

Amanda Borsky et al. Health Aff (Millwood). 2018 Jun.

Abstract

As of 2015, only 8 percent of US adults ages thirty-five and older had received all of the high-priority, appropriate clinical preventive services recommended for them. Nearly 5 percent of adults did not receive any such services. Further delivery system-level efforts are needed to increase the use of preventive services.
