Socioeconomic and Racial Disparities in Parental Perception and Experience of Having a Medical Home, 2007 to 2011-2012.

Academic Pediatrics 2017 January
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether socioeconomic (SES) and racial disparities in the parental perception and experience of having a medical home decreased from 2007 to 2011-2012.

METHODS: We used nationally representative samples of children aged 1 to 17 from the 2007 (n = 83,293) and 2011-2012 (n = 87,774) National Surveys of Children's Health. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test associations between SES (income, employment, and education) and race/ethnicity to the medical home and its subcomponents (personal doctor or nurse, usual source of care, family-centered care, referrals, care coordination), controlling for a priori identified covariates.

RESULTS: From 2007 to 2011-2012, fewer children overall had access to a medical home (56.9% vs 54.0%, aOR = 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.86-0.96). There were no significant changes in SES and racial trends in access to the medical home during this time period. For example, parents of children <100% federal poverty level (FPL) were significantly less likely to report having a medical home than parents of children ≥400% FPL in 2007 and 2011-2012; however, this disparity did not significantly change during the time period (aOR = 0.98, 95% confidence interval 0.75-1.27). There were also no significant changes in SES and racial/ethnic disparities over time for each medical home subcomponent.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite widespread efforts to promote the medical home for all children, large SES and racial disparities in the parental perception and experience of having a medical home persisted from 2007 to 2011-2012.
