Access to Care for U.S. Health Center Patients and Patients Nationally
This study examined access to care for uninsured and Medicaid-insured community health center patients in comparison to nonhealth center patients nationally. Using nationally representative data from 2 major surveys in 2002, there was a positive association between seeking care in community health centers and self-reported access to care for both uninsured and Medicaid patients. This suggests that health centers may fill a critical gap in access …
Trends in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services at the Nation’s Community Health Centers
Objective. We examined trends in delivery of mental health and substance abuse services at the nation’s community health centers. Methods. Analyses used data from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Primary Care’s (BPHC) 1998 and 2003 Uniform Data System, merged with county-level data. Results. Between 1998 and 2003, the number of patients diagnosed with a mental health/substance abuse disorder in community health c…
Primary Care, Social Inequalities, and All-Cause, Heart Disease, and Cancer Mortality in US Counties, 1990
Objectives. We tested the association between the availability of primary care and income inequality on several categories of mortality in US counties. Methods. We used cross-sectional analysis of data from counties (n=3081) in 1990, including analysis of variance and multivariate ordinary least squares regression. Independent variables included primary care resources, income inequality, and sociodemographics. Results. Counties with higher availa…

Primary care, infant mortality, and low birth weight in the states of the USA
Study objective: The study tests the extent to which primary care physician supply (office based primary care physicians per 10 000 population) moderates the association between social inequalities and infant mortality and low birth weight throughout the 50 states of the USA. Design: Pooled cross sectional, time series analysis of secondary data. Analyses controlled for state level education, unemployment, racial/ethnic composition, income inequa…
The Role of Federally Funded Health Centers in Serving the Rural Population
Context: Federally funded health centers attempt to improve rural health by reducing and eliminating access barriers to primary care services. Purpose: This study compares rural health center patients with people in the general rural population for indicators of access to preventive services and health outcomes. Methods: Data from the annual reporting system for federally funded health centers, the 1999 Uniform Data System, and published national…
Primary Care, Self‐rated Health, and Reductions in Social Disparities in Health
Objective. To examine the extent to which good primary‐care experience attenuates the adverse association of income inequality with self‐reported health. Data Sources. Data for the study were drawn from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored 1996–1997 Community Tracking Study (CTS) Household Survey and state indicators of income inequality and primary care. Study Design. Cross‐sectional, mixed‐level analysis on individuals with a primary‐ca…
Eliminating Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas
Most policy‐makers and researchers agree that although the United States is headed for a significant physician surplus, problems of equity in access to care still remain. To help meet this challenge, Title VII of the Public Health Service Act focuses on producing generalist physicians to serve in medically underserved areas (MUAS). This study estimates the impact Title VII support for generalist training has on reducing and eliminating health pro…
The Hidden Future Supply of Foreign Medical Graduates
The number of foreign medical graduates (FMGs) as reported by the American Medical Association (AMA) has registered increases in recent years far exceeding the Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) published forecasts. The DHHS projections of new entrants have been derived from the number of postgraduate year-one positions filled by FMGs. Apparently, the FMG supply is augmented by physicians who enter by other paths. By using AMA data, …
Foreign-Trained Physicians in American Medicine
The understanding of reliance upon foreign medical graduates (FMGs) in the United States is vague and general. Little is known about the specific roles of FMGs or the populations they serve in relation to United States medical graduates (USMGs). The recent passage of the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act calls for significant reductions in the future influx of FMGs. Hence, there is an immediate need for detailed information upon which…
