Pathways to service utilization among older Mexicans and Mexican- Americans were investigated through examining participants’ health beliefs and behaviours. Results indicated that definitions of health and illness had an impact on service utilization decisions. Results also suggested that an assumption that Mexican elders utilize social support networks for healthcare assistance is questionable, with implications for practice.
