Abstract
This paper examines physicians' perceptions about potential effects of lay self-care. The research was designed to explore these perceptions regarding three types of effects with particular reference to their general distribution and their inter-relationships. The findings showed that physicians distinguished clearly among the effects of self-care but that their opinions differ considerably regarding the effects on utilization, costs and hospitalization rates. The implications of these findings are discussed.
