Background: Timely diagnosis and treatment of silent cerebrovascular disease (SCD) are critical for future cerebrovascular disease prevention, whereas asymptomatic specificity of SCD can lead to a lack of reasonable healthcare utilization. In China, access barriers to care for SCD patients is rarely studied. This study aimed to estimate the access barriers to care for SCD patients in rural China and explored associated factors. Methods: We constructed a demand-side questionnaire using the six-dimensional model of access barriers to care, and collected survey data in Guizhou province, China. Data from SCD patients were collected including demographics, health status, and self-perceived access barriers to care. Linear regression was used to estimate the association between access barriers to care and self-reported health status. Results: A total of 162 SCD patients were included in the analysis. The questionnaire’s measures are adoptable with reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.86) and validity (KMO = 0.774, Bartlett’s test p-value |
