A, B, C
Although community support and familiarity are factors in general health care attitudes and practices, they usually do not negatively affect the decision to seek medical assistance as much as the remaining options do. Lack of insurance, low access to primary physicians for referral, and language barriers that make it difficult to negotiate an unfamiliar system are factors that promote a delay in seeking help.
