Socioeconomic status and utilization of health care services in Canada and the United States: findings from a binational health survey.

Objectives: Building on Andersen's behavioral model for the utilization of health care services, we examined factors associated with utilization of physician and hospital services among adults in Canada and the United States, with a focus on socioeconomic status (enabling resources in Andersen's framework).

Methods: Using the 2002-2003 Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health, we conducted country-specific multivariate logistic regressions predicting doctor contacts/visits and overnight hospitalizations in the past year, controlling for predisposing characteristics, enabling resources, and several factors representing perceived need for health care. All analyses were appropriately weighted to yield nationally representative results.

Women's compliance with public health guidelines for mammograms and pap tests in Canada and the United States: an analysis of data from the Joint Canada/United States Survey Of Health.

Objectives: We use the Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health (JCUSH) to examine use of mammograms and Pap tests among Canadian and US women during 2002 and 2003. Unlike previous data, the JCUSH data are bi-nationally comparable, in that the same instrument was used for interviewing both Canadian and US respondents at the same time. Furthermore, when appropriately weighted, these data are representative of the populations of both countries.

Comparing health and health care use in Canada and the United States.

Results from the Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health (2002-2003) reveal that health status is relatively similar in the two countries, but income-related health disparities exist. Americans in the poorest income quintile are more likely to have poor health than their Canadian counterparts; there were no differences between the rich. In general, Canadians were more like insured Americans regarding access to services, and Canadians experienced fewer unmet needs overall.
