Stress and Coping in African American Grandparents Who Are Raising Their Grandchildren
This study investigated the degree of stress in 50 African American grandparents ( M = 63.12 years) who are raising their grandchildren and identified the importance of caregiver characteristics, the caregiving situation, and specific coping strategies that influence stress. Data were collected via interview at senior centers and churches in Harris County, Texas. The instruments used to measure stress and coping were the Parenting Stress Index an…
Factors Associated With Health‐Related Quality of Life Among an Older Population in a Largely Rural Western Region
Context: As elderly people become a larger proportion of the rural population, it is important to identify those at risk for poor health. Predictors of health‐related quality of life can be useful in designing interventions. Purpose: One objective of the present study was to profile the health‐related quality of life of community‐dwelling, elderly people in a southwestern region of the United States. A related objective was to identify the princi…
Expanding the scope of health reform
Policy Incongruence and Public Health Professionals' Dissonance
Vulnerable Populations
This article examines the different goals and values underlying governmental, market, and community-oriented approaches to addressing the health and health care needs of vulnerable populations, the strengths and limitations of each, and how community-oriented approaches in particular offer a new set of lenses for defining and addressing these problems in a changing medical care environment. The author delineates the role of political investments …
Why the United States Does Not Have a National Health Program
Health Insurance and Utilization of Medical Care for Children with Special Health Care Needs
Based on analyses of the 1988 National Center for Health Statistics, National Health Interview Survey, Child Health Supplement, this study examines the insurance coverage and utilization of physicians, hospitals, and prescribed medicine among the 9.6 million U.S. children with special health care needs, defined as children who had one or more selected chronic conditions that caused them to experience pain, discomfort, or being upset often or all …
Equity, Accessibility, and Ethical Issues
This article argues that the focus and scope of the current U.S. health care reform debate are too narrowly defined and the answers being offered are therefore inadequate. The question implicitly or explicitly being addressed is how to assure more universal access to medical care. An alternative focus for an informed health policy debate is how best to assure more universal access to health. Fundamental investments in enhancing the economic and s…
A Profile of Black and Hispanic Subgroups' Access to Dental Care
This study examined which black and Hispanic minority subgroups were least likely to obtain dental care and why, based on logistic regression analyses of the 1986 National Health Interview Survey. Blacks and Hispanics were less apt to have private dental insurance coverage, to be knowledgeable about the purpose of fluoride, to have been to a dentist in the past year, and, when they did go, were more apt to have gone in response to symptoms rather…
Hospital-Physician Sponsored Primary Care
The ethical implications of prospective payment and corporate medical practice
Equity of Access to Medical Care
This paper summarizes the major ethical considerations in the conceptualization and measurement of the equity of access concept, presents national and community data on the most current profile of access in the United States, and discusses the implications of these conceptual and empirical issues. Changes in health care policy and the future of the “equity of access” objective in the U.S. are also discussed

Response to Mr. Chen
Access to Medical Care in the U.S
This paper seeks to provide a framework for understanding differential access to medical care in the U.S. population and to suggest ways to achieve equity of access. The framework is provided by a behavioral model of health services utilization which suggests a sequence of predisposing, enabling and illness variables that determine the number of times people will visit a physician. The model is operationalized using a path analytic technique. The…
Response to Critique of ???Economic and Noneconomic Barriers lo the Use of Needed Medical Services
Economic and Noneconomic Barriers to the Use of Needed Medical Services
This paper introduces an index of access to medical care that describes the use of services relative to the actual need for care. Findings on this particular measure suggest that, contrary to the implications of much of the existing literature, the poor continue to use fewer services-relative to the disability they experience-than do the nonpoor. Further, despite the advent of publicly financed economic solutions to these access differentials-Med…
A Social Indicator of Access to Medical Care
This study introduces a social indicator of access to medical care-the symptoms-response ratiothat reflects the difference between the number of visits in response to symptoms that actually occur and the number that a panel of physicians indicate is appropriatefor these same symptoms. Findings on the indexfor a national sample of the United States population affirm differentials in access that are generally thought to exist in terms of other acce…
