perceived barriers significantly influenced attitude toward health behavior, whereas
                  perceived susceptibility did not show a statistically significant effect. Attitude, in turn,
                  significantly predicted intention to use family doctor services.
                        Demographic differences in Intention to use Family doctor services
                        To further explore whether intention to use family doctor services varied across
                  demographic characteristics, additional analyses using independent-samples t-tests and
                  one-way ANOVA were conducted.
                        The results indicate that intention to use family doctor services is largely consistent
                  across gender, age, and occupation. No significant differences were observed between
                  males and females (p = 0.720 > 0.05), nor across age groups (F = 2.157, p = 0.072) or
                  occupational categories (F = 1.218, p = 0.295).
                        In contrast, education and income show significant associations with intention.
                  Intention increases with higher educational attainment, reaching the highest level among
                  respondents with postgraduate education (M = 4.76; Welch = 35.171, p < 0.001). Similarly,
                  higher-income respondents report stronger intention, with the highest mean observed in
                  the group earning over 100 million VND per month (M = 4.81; F = 3.629, p = 0.001).
