Abstract: Not all people experiencing LBP seek care for their problem. Consistent predictors of care-seeking behavior seem to be female sex and high perceived disability; the role of beliefs about LBP has not been investigated sufficiently. A questionnaire booklet was mailed to a random sample of 2860 individuals otherwise participating in an epidemiological study of musculoskeletal health. It contained the Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ), the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ; physical activity and work scales), and questions about sociodemographics, LBP characteristics, and LBP-related care seeking in the last month (“yes” = visit to specialist, general practitioner, physiotherapist, or other health care practitioner; “no” = none of these). Logistic regression was used to identify whether beliefs made a significant contribution to care-seeking behavior, beyond known predictors conceptualized in the behavioral model of health services use.
