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.

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.

In general, Canadians were more like insured Americans regarding access to services, and Canadians experienced fewer unmet needs overall.

Identification of gaps in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood asthma using a community-based participatory research approach.

The goal of this investigation was to use a community-based participatory research approach to develop, pilot test, and administer an asthma screening questionnaire to identify children with asthma and asthma symptoms in a community setting. This study was conducted as the recruitment effort for Community Action Against Asthma, a randomized trial of a household intervention to reduce exposure to environmental triggers of asthma and was not designed as a classic prevalence study. An asthma screening questionnaire was mailed and/or hand delivered to parents of 9,627 children, aged 5 to 11 years, in two geographic areas of Detroit, Michigan, with predominantly African American and Hispanic populations.
