Health and health care-seeking behavior of adolescents in urban and rural China.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 13-18-year-old adolescents in Zhejiang Province, China. Morbidities showed few urban/rural differences. Concerns were mainly related to academic pressure. Respondents were eager users of health services; 73% were taking regular medication, but 52% had never attended a dentist.
