まとめ
ウィラメット・デンタル・グループ (WDG) のオレゴン州の子どもたちは,歯医者への訪問率が著しく高かった. WDG について
科学分野:
- 公衆衛生
- 歯 の 健康
- 医療サービス研究
背景:
- 患者保護と手頃な医療法により 口腔医療の財政的障壁が軽減されましたが 患者保護と手頃な医療法 (ACA) は 口腔医療の財政的障壁を軽減することを目的としています しかし,医療へのアクセスにおける格差は,特にオレゴン州では,収入に関連しています. この研究では,ウィラメット歯科グループ (WDG) が口腔医療の非財政的な障壁に対処する役割を調査しています.
- 交通手段や診療予約の可否や提供者の可否などの非財政的な障壁は,財政的な制約が軽減された場合でも,歯科サービスへのアクセスを大幅に妨げることができます.
研究 の 目的:
- ウィラメット歯科グループ (WDG) のモデルが,オレゴン州保健計画に登録された子どもたちの口腔医療への非財政的な障壁を軽減する効果を評価する.
- WDGのメディケイドプログラムに登録した子どもの口腔医療利用率と,WDG以外のメディケイドプログラムに登録した子供の口腔医療利用率を比較する.
主な方法:
- 縦断的な観察研究では,オレゴン州保健計画から2014年から2021年にかけての歯科請求書と登録データを利用した.
- 歯科医の診察と診察が主な結果でした.
- 偏見を最小限に抑え,ランダム化研究をシミュレートするために,子供,家族,コミュニティの変数を含む傾向スコアサブ分類マッチング方法が採用されました.
主要な成果:
- WDGプログラムに参加した子供たちは,WDGプログラムに参加しなかった子供と比較して,歯科訪問と検査の割合が著しく高かった (P < .001).
- WDGに参加した人は,WDGに参加しなかった人と比較して,歯科医の診察を受ける確率は40%高く,検査を受ける確率は48%高くなりました.
結論:
- オレゴン州ヘルスケアプランの下でWDGに登録した子供たちは,口腔保健サービスの利用率が大幅に増加しました.
- WDGの革新的な診療方針は,メディケイドに登録した子供のアクセスと利用を改善しようとする他の大規模な歯科治療プログラムの潜在的なモデルを提供します.
- WDGシステム内の実際の口腔健康結果と改善された利用を関連付けるためのさらなる研究が推奨されています.
