Disability, health status, and utilization of health services.
Abstract
Change in the patterns of utilization of services is an important indicator of the influence of policies and programs concerning health care. This paper focuses on these patterns as revealed in a survey of a probability sample of the U.S. adult population conducted in 1972. The analysis sought to assess the influence of a number of health dimensions, as well as economic and sociodemographic characteristics, on utilization. Coverage through insurance or other payment plans constituted one of the independent factors in the analysis. The dimensions of health included indicators of disabilities in work and independent living, limitations in physical and emotional performance, and the existence and severity of pathology and impairment. A discriminant analysis was employed to assess the relative importance of these variables in their influence upon the utilization of services. Finally, the paper presents information about unmet needs for care.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
