A study was made of the use of pediatric service in the clinics of a Kaiser Health Plan facility. Interesting differences were found between whites and Negroes which the investigators describe in detail. They also stress the possible relationship of the utilization patterns to availability of clinics during the day and in the evening. Further research on differential patterns of use of service in prepayment health plans is indicated.
