The impact of hypertension follow-up management on the choices of signing up family doctor contract services: does socioeconomic status matter?
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that regular hypertension follow-up management was associated with family doctor contract services and SES influenced this relationship.

Family doctors should focus on improving services quality and enriching the content of service packages especially for older adults with higher income and education level.PMID:38658816 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02383-8 (Source: Primary Care)
