Is freedom of choice of specialist physicians important to Swiss resident : a cross-sectional study?
In 2007, almost half of all Swiss residents found it very important to be able to choose his/her specialist physician. The further development of physician networks or other chronic disease management initiatives in Switzerland, towards integrated care, need to pay attention to the freedom of choice of specialist physicians that Swiss residents value. Future surveys should provide information on access and consultations with specialist physicians.
It is suggested that we may need three symptom subscales and three subtypes in order to better account for cultural variations in the presentation of SAD.
