Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Limited access to healthcare services is a factor that can reduce quality of care, and it is more pronounced in rural settings.

Patient satisfaction has also been a health care focus in recent years for all patients. This project examined patient satisfaction in a small university-associated primary care center and compared patient satisfaction scores for sexual minorities to heterosexual respondents.
