“…As demonstrated in previous studies employing Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Use, enabling factors significantly influenced utilization in the current study (Pereyra et al, 2011;Alzarhani & Neff, 2010). The influence of having a regular dentist may be explained by the importance of the provider-patient relationship.…”

“…The first logistic regression included selected predisposing, enabling, and need factors that expressed a p-value < 0.2 in the conducted bivariate analyses. Factors that displayed significance in the first model (p-values < 0.05) were then included in the second model with identified demographic factors (gender, race/ethnicity and state geographical location of residence) to control for the covariates (Pereyra et al, 2011).…”

“…The three factor classifications associated with this model include: (1) predisposing factors (demographics, social structure, and health beliefs); (2) enabling factors (economic and social resources); and (3) need-for-care factors (self-perceived and clinically evaluated health needs and risk behaviors) (Pereyra et al, 2011;Babitsch, Gohl, & von Lengerke, 2012). Studies that have employed this model, and targeted utilization of dental services among U.S. adults, revealed that enabling factors were significantly associated with dental services use (Pereyra et al, 2011;Alzarhani & Neff, 2010). However, this trend is inconsistent with studies that have targeted the use of medical services, as some have found significant associations with predisposing and need factors (Babitsch et al, 2012).…”

“…Andersen's Behaviorial Model of Health Services Use ascertains the influence of factors on the utilization of health services among disparate populations (Andersen, 1995;Pereyra et al, 2011). The three factor classifications associated with this model include: (1) predisposing factors (demographics, social structure, and health beliefs); (2) enabling factors (economic and social resources); and (3) need-for-care factors (self-perceived and clinically evaluated health needs and risk behaviors) (Pereyra et al, 2011;Babitsch, Gohl, & von Lengerke, 2012).…”

Background: Given the high rates of risky behaviors and health conditions among incarcerated individuals and the relationship between oral and general health, receipt of quality dental care is essential to the overall health and well-being of this population. However, few recent studies have focused on access to care and the state of oral health among incarcerated populations in the U.S. For the current study, a secondary data analysis was conducted to: 1) assess factors associated with the use of dental services among a newly incarcerated prison population in Georgia and 2) consider barriers related to utilization of dental services pre-to post-release. Methods:Descriptive statistics were calculated, and bivariate and logistic regression analyses were conducted utilizing SAS 9.2 software.Results: Thirty-one percent (n=250) of survey respondents reported having a dental visit within the past year. Survey respondents who had a regular dentist (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.325, 2.697), private dental insurance (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.022, 2.245), or who reported pain as the reason for their last dental visit (OR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.556, 3.130) were more likely to have utilized dental services within the past year. Conclusions:The findings highlight the role of social and economic resources and oral health needs on utilization of dental services. Additional practice and policy efforts are needed to address gaps in the dental care continuum that affect currently and formerly incarcerated adults in Georgia.

“…Likewise people living with HIV/AIDS have limited awareness of oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS (Kahabuka et al, 2007). The limited knowledge and awareness may negatively impact oral health care delivery to the PLWA but may also limit utilization of dental care services even when they are available (Pereyra et al, 2011).…”

Housing for people living with HIV/AIDS has been linked to a number of positive physical and mental health outcomes, in addition to decreased sexual and drug-related risk behavior. The current study identified service priorities for people living with HIV/AIDS, services provided by HIV/AIDS housing agencies, and unmet service needs for people living with HIV/AIDS through a nationwide telephone survey of HIV/AIDS housing agencies in the United States. Housing, alcohol/drug treatment, and mental health services were identified as the three highest priorities for people living with HIV/AIDS and assistance finding employment, dental care, vocational assistance, and mental health services were the top needs not being met. Differences by geographical region were also examined. Findings indicate that while housing affords people living with HIV/AIDS access to services, there are still areas (e.g., mental health services) where gaps in linkages to care exist.
