The economic stability of individuals or families can determine whether they are willing to seek preventive care or screening examinations. Even if screening is free or low cost, the patient or family members may decline because of the potential for testing positive for a disease. Treatment of a disorder often requires time spent away from work, lost wages, and expensive drug therapies and diagnostic tests. The financial impact can be devastating to families or individuals who have a limited or fixed income and fear that employment stability may be compromised.
