2507 words - 10 pages

AIM OF PROJECTThis project seeks to assess the potential access of Roseau-based clients to the Dominica Planned Parenthood Association, and to evaluate the realised access i.e. the actual utilization of the organization by the said demographic.FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THE DPPA TO ITS ROSEAU-BASED CLIENTELEThe accessibility of a health care centre is directly related to its utilization by the general public. According to Wikipedia.org, there is a well-established pattern of utilization increasing with access, i.e. people who have easier access to health care use it more often.Accessibility then, is most important to a health care provider. However some health care providers might need to re-evaluate their definition of accessibility in relation to health care provision.Access is defined in Equity of access to medical care: a conceptual and empirical overview as, a multidimensional concept that describes peoples ability to use the necessary health care, immediately wherever they are.The phrase multidimensional concept is the crux of the definition as most people view accessibility as a one-dimensional issue with regard to location and other spatial or geographical concerns. This common misconception is quite far from reality as the accessibility of health care is a complex issue that can be broken up into five main headings:The five main factors that affect the accessibility of the Dominica Planned Parenthood Association are geographic factors, marketability factors, social factors, financial factors and functional factors. These will all be discussed in detail with regard to the Dominica Planned Parenthood Association (DPPA) and its Roseau-based clientele.GEOGRAPHIC FACTORS1.LocationThe DPPA is situated, as seen by the map of Roseau on page 36, in the heart of Roseau. On a street that is always teeming with people, especially with high school children, the centre is literally surrounded by its targeted demographic.In an interview conducted on the first of July 2008 with Mr. Willie Fevrier, the Director of the DPPA, he confirmed that the organisation primarily targets women between the ages of 16 to about 65. Keeping this target demographic in mind, the DPPA is located in excellent vicinity.Students of the Goodwill High School, the Convent High School, the St. Martin Secondary School and even the Dominica Grammar School are constantly seen milling around the area during lunchtime breaks as many small restaurants and shops are located along King George V Street. The presence of business places such as Anas Salon and Astaphans also works in the favour of the organisation as women are also targeted by these businesses.Hence in terms of catering to a certain demographic, the location is very well chosen. However while the location is perfectly suited in this respect, it is also disability un-friendly. Located upstairs of the LIAT office, one must climb two flights of stairs to enter the...
