Logistic Regression Results Examining the Relationship between the Patient-Centered Medical Home and Types of Mental Health Services, Conditional on Any Mental Health Visit
Probability of mental health service use* | |||
---|---|---|---|
Usual provider† | PCMH‡ | Marginal effect§ | |
Type of mental health service | % (SE) | % (SE) | Δ (95 % CI) |
Counseling or psychotherapy | 59.7 (2.8) | 69.7 (4.1) | 10.0 (1.0, 19.0) |
Psychiatric medication | 85.2 (1.9) | 82.6 (3.3) | −2.5 (−9.7, 4.6) |
Abbreviations: PCMH patient-centered medical home
*Predicted probability estimated from a multivariate logistic regression model. Control variables included age, race/ethnicity, gender, nativity, marital status, mental health ratings, number of chronic conditions, physical health functioning, geographic residence, education, type of insurance, income, and survey year
†"Usual provider" defined as a usual primary care provider or clinic that did not meet all PCMH criteria (accessible, comprehensive, and patient-centered)
‡"PCMH" defined as a usual primary care provider or clinic that delivered accessible, comprehensive, patient-centered services
§Marginal effects indicates the difference in predicted probability of mental health service use for patients with a PCMH vs. a usual provider only, holding covariates at their observed value
