Abstract

Objective: To assess dental utilization of resettled adult refugees in Washington (WA) state and the demographic factors associated with dental utilization.

Methods: Data were collected between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015 for newly arrived adult refugees (>21 years) enrolled in Washington State dental Medicaid program. Three state agencies provided enrollment and claims data that included demographic information as well as number and types of dental claims, and time to first dental claim for the newly resettled adult refugee population.

Results: A total of 1294 adult refugees resettled in WA State in 2015. Approximately, 67% were aged 21-39 years and 32.4% White race and 93.9% without any disability. Over half (57%) of adult refugees had at least one dental claim within 12 months, and the median time to first dental utilization was 4.1 months [IQR:2.4-6.8]. Black refugees had a 74% greater chance of a first dental claim within 12 months of resettlement compared to White refugees (p < .001), and people from countries with high volume of refugees also had a 31% greater chance than those from countries with low volume of refugees (p = .005).

Conclusions: Over half of all the adult refugees resettled in WA utilized dental services within 12 months of arrival. Understanding the mosaic of demographic backgrounds of newly resettled refugees in any given state will improve early utilization of dental care needs and therefore improve their oral health.

对华盛顿州新安置的参加牙科医疗补助计划的成年难民的牙科使用情况进行调查。
目的评估在华盛顿州(Washington,WA)重新安置的成年难民的牙科使用情况以及与牙科使用相关的人口因素:数据收集时间为 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2015 年 12 月 31 日,对象为加入华盛顿州牙科医疗补助计划的新到成年难民(21 岁以上)。三个州政府机构提供了注册和索赔数据,其中包括人口统计信息、牙科索赔的数量和类型,以及新安置成年难民首次牙科索赔的时间:2015年,共有1294名成年难民在西澳大利亚州重新定居。约67%的难民年龄在21-39岁之间,32.4%为白人,93.9%无任何残疾。超过一半(57%)的成年难民在12个月内至少有过一次牙科索赔,首次使用牙科服务的中位时间为4.1个月[IQR:2.4-6.8]。与白人难民相比,黑人难民在重新安置后的 12 个月内首次申请牙科治疗的几率要高出 74%(p 结论):在西澳大利亚州定居的所有成年难民中,有一半以上在抵达后的12个月内使用过牙科服务。了解任何一个州新安置难民的人口背景,都将提高他们对牙科保健需求的早期利用率,从而改善他们的口腔健康。

期刊介绍: The aim of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology is to serve as a forum for scientifically based information in community dentistry, with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base in the field. The scope is therefore broad, ranging from original studies in epidemiology, behavioral sciences related to dentistry, and health services research through to methodological reports in program planning, implementation and evaluation. Reports dealing with people of all age groups are welcome. The journal encourages manuscripts which present methodologically detailed scientific research findings from original data collection or analysis of existing databases. Preference is given to new findings. Confirmations of previous findings can be of value, but the journal seeks to avoid needless repetition. It also encourages thoughtful, provocative commentaries on subjects ranging from research methods to public policies. Purely descriptive reports are not encouraged, nor are behavioral science reports with only marginal application to dentistry. The journal is published bimonthly.
