Do Medical Homes Reduce Disparities in Receipt of Preventive Services Between Children Living in Immigrant and Non-immigrant Families?

Abstract  

The patient-centered medical home model has the potential to reduce healthcare disparities among immigrant children. The purpose
of this study is to examine the relationship between medical home (MH) participation and receipt of preventive services among
immigrant children age 0–17. The study employed extant data from the National Survey of Children’s Health, 2007 (NSCH). Logistic
regression analyses were employed to assess the relationship between receipt of preventive services and MH status among immigrant
and non-immigrant children. Due to primarily the lack of family-centered care, only 40% of immigrant children met the medical home criteria versus approximately 62% of non-immigrant children. Immigrant
children have decreased odds of receiving preventive care despite MH status. Improving the family-centered care aspect of
the MH is necessary to increasing medical home access to immigrant children and the receipt of preventive services for immigrant
children who meet the MH criteria.
