“…Among dentists, respondents were significantly more likely to be older and in solo practice compared to nonrespondents . An examination of item nonresponse bias among members revealed that respondents who provided open‐ended comments were more likely to be Black, older, unemployed, have had a recent dental visit, and to have rated their dental plan poorly compared to those who did not provide comment (Reynolds JC, McKernan SC, Sukalski MC, unpublished data,). Among dentists, those who provided open‐ended comments were more likely to participate in the DWP than those who did not provide comment.…”

Objectives In the United States, the 2010 Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion improved financial access to dental care for new Medicaid enrollees in states with Medicaid dental benefits for adults. Using an existing theoretical framework, we explored dentist and Medicaid member narratives concerning a state's redesigned dental programme for the Medicaid expansion population. Methods Data sources include two surveys conducted in 2016—one to a random sample of Medicaid members and one to private practice dentists in Iowa. A qualitative content analysis approach was used to quantify and describe themes present in open‐ended comment data. Results The most common themes among Medicaid member narratives were related to oral health needs and status, availability of dentists who accept Medicaid, and Medicaid coverage for dental care. Among dentists, the programme's administrative burden was the most common theme, with coverage and reimbursement commonly cited as well. An emergent theme among both member and dentist comments was patient confusion or lack of knowledge about programme enrolment and coverage. Conclusions Member awareness about enrolment and coverage in public dental benefit plans should be further explored to determine the impact on access to care. Effectively communicating the intent, programme design and expectations of a Medicaid programme to both providers and Medicaid members is important to the success of the programme.

“…In addition, the non-response on these questions may be systematically biased, as differences in response rates among individuals with different characteristics (e.g. politically interested versus non-interested) tend to be higher on cognitively burdensome questions (Holland & Christian, 2009;Reynolds et al, 2020).…”

This book offers a truly interdisciplinary exploration of our patterns of engagement with politics, news, and information in current high-choice information environments. Putting forth the notion that high-choice information environments may contribute to increasing misperceptions and knowledge resistance rather than greater public knowledge, the book offers insights into the processes that influence the supply of misinformation and factors influencing how and why people expose themselves to and process information that may support or contradict their beliefs and attitudes.A team of authors from across a range of disciplines address the phenomena of knowledge resistance and its causes and consequences at the macro-as well as the micro-level. The chapters take a philosophical look at the notion of knowledge resistance, before moving on to discuss issues such as misinformation and fake news, psychological mechanisms such as motivated reasoning in processes of selective exposure and attention, how people respond to evidence and fact-checking, the role of political partisanship, political polarization over factual beliefs, and how knowledge resistance might be counteracted.This book will have a broad appeal to scholars and students interested in knowledge resistance, primarily within philosophy, psychology, media and communication, and political science, as well as journalists and policymakers.
