“…In comparison, variability in agreement could be seen across items, which concerned attitudes, assessment of quality and awareness which were more dynamic in nature. This pattern of higher agreement values for habitual items and lower values for awareness/attitude items have been seen in other studies as well [22]. Test-retest results of continuous items also showed high agreement across the evaluations; with relatively lower correlation coefficients only seen in items which required distant recall such as exact monetary values for expenditure over the last month or last year.…”

Purpose -Out-of-pocket (OOP) payments continue to be a major method of financing healthcare in many low-and middle-income countries including Malaysia. Although macro-level data show that this is a substantial percentage of national health expenditure, at the grassroots level, the amount spent on health by households remains unknown in Malaysia. The purpose of this paper is to assess the validity and reliability of an adapted-for-purpose questionnaire designed to capture urban household health expenditures (HHEs) among Malaysian households. Design/methodology/approach -This two-part study assessed content validity of the questionnaire using three experts and the reliability of the questionnaire through a test-retest study among 50 OOP-paying patients followed up at one private primary care clinic in Kuala Lumpur. This study was approved by the Malaysian Research Ethics Committee (NMRR-16-172-29311-IIR). Findings -The validity of the 83-item questionnaire was high, with an item content validity index of 1.00 and a scale content validity index average score of 1.0 agreed to among the evaluating experts. In the test-retest reliability study, the majority of the categorical questionnaire items had perfect agreement values (k ¼ 0.81-1.00). Continuous questionnaire items were also found to be highly reliable with no significant differences between the test-retest segments and high correlation coefficient values (intra-class correlation coefficientW0.7). Originality/value -The HHE questionnaire had excellent content validity and very high test-retest reliability. The results of this study suggest that this questionnaire could be used in Malaysian studies to determine actual urban HHE which is a first step toward developing universal health coverage for all.

Objectives This study aimed to explore the influence of dental insurance coverage on access to preventive periodontal care. Data were extracted from the 2011, 2013 and 2015 Korean Community Health Surveys conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Materials and methods This study was designed as a 5‐year time series analysis using secondary data. Trends in the utilisation rate of dental scaling services before and after the introduction of insurance coverage for dental scaling were evaluated, and the influence of dental insurance coverage on access to preventive periodontal care was assessed. Results In the 4 years after 2011, the utilisation rate of scaling services increased by 12.3%. The increase in the utilisation rate from 2011 to 2015 was greater for participants ≥ 65 years old and 45–64 years old compared with those who were 19–34 or 35–44 years old. The odds ratios (ORs) for using scaling in 2011, 2013 and 2015 were 0.9, 1.1 and 1.5, respectively, for participants with healthy gingiva. For elderly participants with gingival bleeding, the utilisation rate of scaling services increased after 2015 with ORs of 0.8, 0.9 and 1.2 for 2011, 2013 and 2015, respectively. Conclusions Insurance coverage for dental scaling positively influenced access to preventive care for periodontal disease in middle‐aged and elderly individuals. In the future, the long‐term contributions of dental insurance coverage to the prevalence of periodontal disease and oral health disparities should be evaluated.

ObjectivesTo investigate concordance in the health behaviors of women and their partners according to age and to investigate whether there was a stronger correlation between the health behaviors of housewives and those of their partners than between the health behaviors of non-housewives and those of their partners.MethodsWe used data obtained from women participants in the 2015 Korea Community Health Survey who were living with their partners. The outcome variables were 4 health behaviors: smoking, drinking, eating salty food, and physical activity. The main independent variables were the partners’ corresponding health behaviors. We categorized age into 4 groups (19-29, 30-49, 50-64, and ≥ 65 years) and utilized multivariate logistic regression analysis, stratifying by age group. Another logistic regression analysis was stratified by whether the participant identified as a housewife.ResultsData from 64 971 women older than 18 years of age were analyzed. Of the 4 health behaviors, the risk of smoking (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.93 to 5.49) was highest when the participant’s partner was also a smoker. Similar results were found for an inactive lifestyle (aOR, 2.56; 95% CI, 2.45 to 2.66), eating salty food (aOR, 2.48; 95% CI, 2.36 to 2.62); and excessive drinking (aOR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.80 to 1.98). In comparison to non-housewives, housewives had higher odds of eating salty food.ConclusionsThe health behaviors of women were positively correlated with those of their partners. The magnitude of the concordance differed by age group.
