LOS ANGELES (CNS) - People who move residences because they cannot afford their current housing are at increased risk of failing to receive the medical care they need, according to a new study from Cedars-Sinai and UCLA announced today.
The findings, published online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, were based on 146,417 adults who responded from 2011 to 2017 to the California Health Interview Survey, the largest such state survey in the U.S. The study compared those who had moved homes in the last five years to those who had not.
It found that those who moved due to financial hardship, as opposed to other reasons, were more likely to report delaying or not receiving prescribed medicines and needed medical care during the previous 12 months.
