Aims: This study evaluates the relationship between educational attainment and preventative healthcare utilization in Southeast Los Angeles to inform future policies aimed at improving long-term health outcomes. Methods: For this study, the International Healthcare Organization, a 501(c)-3 nonprofit focused on providing multicultural low-income, immigrant, and refugee populations with educational, medical, and mental health services, surveyed its patient population at its mobile community health clinic events (3). Results: Data analysis reveals a positive correlation between educational attainment and usage of preventative health care. Conclusions: This study highlights the potential to improve preventative healthcare utilization in Southeast Los Angeles through educational initiatives led and supported by community-based organizations and local and state policymakers.
