Popis: This pilot study surveyed Israeli adolescents' preferences regarding health services as a preliminary step for a national survey. A total of 444 students filled a questionnaire including demographics, personal health data, and preferences regarding 31 statements on health care, based on a Philadelphia questionnaire. Factors of most significant impact in seeking health care were cleanliness, integrity, respectfulness, knowledge, and competence. The 10 top statements important to Israeli teens included 9 of the 11 top statements of the Philadelphia teens. Future research may demonstrate change in outcome if adolescents' desires were attended based on a cultural adapted questionnaire.
