Stepwise binomial logistic regressions linear were used predict initiation continued service utilization within preceding 12 months, respectively. older, more likely be relationship than those census, while no difference observed annual income. Approximately half accessed themselves over previous 12-months, overwhelming majority accessing children. Medical most utilized, mental health behavioural needed, but not available. Sociodemographic (e.g., age, education attainment), familial relationships role satisfaction, need, practices predicted use services, larger number variables influencing as compared continuous community population), social support, at least one relationships, range conditional initial access. These results can support provincial system better care by acknowledging interdependent nature They also highlight equitable rural locations. Results are discussed terms clinical relevance policy.
