Product Description:

In progressive conditions such as Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DBMD), the need for care may outpace care use. The authors identified disparities in receipt of healthcare and related services in adult men with DBMD that can affect quality of life. Despite the high disease severity identified in this population, these men utilized only half of the services available to individuals with significant progressive conditions. Providers should be aware of low service utilization and focus on awareness and assistance to ensure access to available care
