RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: It is generally acknowledged that health care providers who offer services for free or at reduced cost play an important role in providing at least a minimum level of access to care to uninsured persons. However, the effectiveness of these safety net providers may be limited to the extent that many uninsured parent aware of these providers. This research examines the extent to which uninsured persons are or are not aware of safety net providers in their communities; examines a variety of health system, policy, and sociodemographic characteristics associated with safety net awareness; and explores the implications of awareness or lack of awareness for access to care.
