abstract: 'Objectives. To determine whether family resources predict use of
therapeutic and supportive services and unmet needs in medical versus
educational settings.
Data Source. Children 5-17 years of age with at least one functional
limitation (n=3,434) from the 1994 to 1995 Disability Supplement to the
U.S. National Health Interview Survey.
Study Design. Family resources included the child''s type of health
insurance, household education level, and poverty status. Therapeutic
services included audiology; social work; occupational, physical, or
speech therapy. Supportive services included special equipment, personal
care assistance, respite care, transportation, or environmental
modifications. Need was controlled by child health status and the
severity and type of functional limitation(s). Age, gender,
race/ethnicity, family size, and structure were covariates.
Data Analysis Methods. Logistic regression provided estimates of
associations between-family resources and use of or unmet need for
therapeutic and supportive services. Multinomial methods were used to
determine therapeutic service outcomes in medical versus educational
settings.
Principal Findings. Children with public insurance were two to three
times more likely to use services than children with private or no
insurance regardless of type of service. Household education and public
insurance were associated with supportive and therapeutic service use,
but for therapeutic services only among children receiving services
beyond the school setting. Household education predicted unmet need for
both types of services and therapeutic services across settings.
Findings should be interpreted cautiously, given the survey''s dependence
on respondent report to define the need for services and the potential
for overrepresentation of children with more severe needs in the public
insurance category.
Conclsions. Disparities in the use of services by household education
level and by type of health insurance across service settings suggests
inequitable access among the U.S. policies and programs serving children
with functional limitations. Family income and education appear to give
families an advantage in obtaining services and in identifying a child''s
unmet need.'
