March 2025
Objective: This study aimed to apply Andersen's behavioral model of health services to examine the association of patient-provider racial and ethnic concordance on health care use within Asian American subgroups with a focus on nativity.
Methods: We estimate multivariate probit models using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. We collect and utilize data on preventive care visits, visits for new health problems, visits for ongoing health problems, and number of doctor's visits from survey years 2013-2017 to measure health utilization.
