The determinants within populations (e.g. socio-economic status, ethnicity and education) as well as the health care systems (e.g. resource availability and cultural acceptability) are many.Methods: A total of 347 participants referred to the centre during a period of 10 months were included. For each of 44 districts within the catchment area, the degree of socio-economic vulnerability was estimated based on the citizens{\textquoteright} educational level, ethnicity, income, and unemployment rate and a socio-economic vulnerability score (SE-score) was calculated. Logistic regression was used to describe the probability that a person was referred to the centre, attended the initial appointment and completed the planned activities, depending on sex, age, SE-score of district of residence and distance to the centre.Findings: Citizens from locations with a high socio-economic vulnerability had increased probability of being referred by general practitioners, hospital and job centre. Citizens living further away from the prevention centre had a reduced probability of being referred by their general practitioners. After referral there was no difference in probability of attendance or completion as a function of SE-score or distance between the citizens{\textquoteright} district and the centre. In conclusion, the centre is capable of attracting referrals from districts where the need is likely to be relatively high in terms of socio-economic vulnerability, whereas distance reduced the probability of referral. No differences were found in attendance or completion.",
