County-Level Poverty Is Equally Associated With Unmet Health Care Needs in Rural and Urban Settings
CONTEXT: Regional poverty is associated with reduced access to health care. Whether this relationship is equally strong in both rural and urban settings or is affected by the contextual and individual-level characteristics that distinguish these areas, is unclear. PURPOSE: Compare the association between regional poverty with self-reported unmet need, a marker of health care access, by rural/urban setting. METHODS: Multilevel, cross-sectional ana…
Rural–urban comparison of contextual associations with self-reported mental health status
Context and Healthcare Access
BACKGROUND: Although health is influenced by an individual's characteristics and choices, accumulating evidence suggests that contextual attributes may influence a variety of health outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess associations between contextual characteristics and an individual's re…
Use of Preventive Services by Medicare Fee-For-Service Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: Health care delivery varies with the level of managed care activity (MCA) in an area, potentially affecting health care for those not participating in managed care programs. However, the extent to which MCA is associated with the use of cancer screening by fee-for-service beneficiaries (FFS) is unclear. OBJECTIVE: We sought to study colorectal cancer screening among Medicare FFS beneficiaries in relation to levels of Medicare MCA. RES…
Racial Differences in Lipid-Lowering Agent Use in Medicaid Patients With Cardiovascular Disease
BACKGROUND: Racial differences in chronic cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes are well described, whereas less is known about the process of CVD preventive care and its potential contribution to disparate outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the association between race and 1) prior use of a lipid-lowering agent (LLA), 2) LLA initiation, and 3) LLA discontinuation among individuals with an incident medical claim for C…

Although managed care activity influences healthcare prices and overall utilization, its relationship to access and its broader effects across different insurance categories has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between managed care activity and individuals' access to ca…
