Abstract

Background

Lower neighborhood opportunity, measured by the Child Opportunity Index [COI], is associated with increased pediatric morbidity, but is less frequently used to examine longitudinal well child care. We aimed to evaluate associations between the COI and well child visit [WCV] attendance from birth – <36 months of age.

Methods

The Upstate KIDS population-based birth cohort includes children born 2008–2010 in New York state. The exposure, 2010 census tract COI (very low [VL] to very high [VH]), was linked to children’s geocoded residential address at birth. The outcome was attended WCVs from birth – <36 months of age. Parents reported WCVs and their child’s corresponding age on questionnaires every 4–6 months. These data were applied to appropriate age ranges for recommended WCVs to determine attendance. Associations were modeled longitudinally as odds of attending visits and as mean differences in proportions of WCVs by COI.

Results

Among 4650 children, 21% (n = 977) experienced VL or low COI. Children experiencing VL (adjusted OR [aOR] 0.68, 95% CI 0.61, 0.76), low (aOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.73, 0.90), and moderate COI (aOR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81, 0.96), compared to VH COI, had decreased odds of attending any WCV. The estimated, adjusted mean proportions of WCV attendance were lower among children experiencing VL (0.45, P < .01), low (0.53, P = .02), moderate (0.53, P = .05), and high (0.54, P = .03) compared to VH COI (0.56).

Conclusions

Lower COI at birth was associated with decreased WCV attendance throughout early childhood. Reducing barriers to health care access for children experiencing lower COI may advance equitable well child care.

以地点为基础的机会与幼儿期儿童健康检查的出席率。
背景和目的:以儿童机会指数(Child Opportunity Index [COI])衡量的较低的邻里机会与儿科发病率的增加有关,但较少用于研究纵向儿童保健。我们的目的是评估儿童机会指数与出生后儿童保健就诊率之间的关系--方法:上州 KIDS 人口出生队列包括 2008-2010 年在纽约州出生的儿童。2010年人口普查区COI(极低[VL]至极高[VH])与儿童出生时的地理编码居住地址相关联。结果是儿童从出生起就参加了世界儿童日活动:在 4,650 名儿童中,21% 的儿童(n=977)经历过 VL 或低 COI。与VH COI相比,经历过VL(调整OR [aOR] 0.68,95%CI 0.61,0.76)、低COI(aOR 0.81,95%CI 0.73,0.90)和中度COI(aOR 0.88,95%CI 0.81,0.96)的儿童参加任何WCV的几率都有所下降。在经历 VL 的儿童中,估计的、调整后的参加 WCV 的平均比例较低(0.45,p 结论:出生时COI较低与整个幼儿期参加WCV的人数减少有关。减少出生时COI较低儿童获得医疗保健的障碍可促进公平的儿童保健。
