Abstract: It has been shown that individuals socioeconomic status influences their health outcomes. When looking at socioeconomic status an important factor to consider is educational attainment. The higher an individual’s educational attainment the higher socioeconomic status they are in. In this study I evaluate the correlation between educational attainment and quantity of physician visits for a given individual. Investigating the relationship between physician visits and educational attainment provides further insight into the health behaviors and outcomes of individuals. I found that the higher one’s educational attainment the more likely they are to visit the physician. These findings can be used to create health care policies that address disparities within the health care system.
