Abstract
We studied the nature of the visits of patients aged 11–20 year to three free-standing emergency centers (FECs) and compared the mean to the national studies of visits by this age group to pediatricians and family/general physician. Differences in sex distribution, diagonostic procedures, and diagnostic categories of the FECs emerged. Our results suggest that adolescents seek FECs care for reasons different than those prompting visits to the traditional physician's office.
