This study found an association between parent preventive care and children's well-child visits. Children had higher rates of well-child visits when their mother, father, or both parents received preventive care.
BACKGROUND: Receipt of recommended well-child care is lowest for children without insurance, many of whom receive care in community health centers (CHCs).OBJECTIVE: To understand if there is an association between parent preventive care and their children's well-child visits.METHODS: We used electronic health record data to identify children and link them to parents both seen in an OCHIN net-work (CHC; n = 363 clinics from 17 states), randomly selected a child aged 3 to 17 with >= 1 ambulatory visit between 2015 and 2018. We employed a retrospective, cohort study design and used general estimating equations Poisson regression to estimate yearly rates of well-child visits based on parent pre-ventive care adjusted for relevant covariates and stratified by child age for 3 linked samples: mother only, father only, and two parents.RESULTS: We included 75,398 linked mother only pairs, 12,438 in our father only, and 4,156 in our 2-parent sample. Children in the mother only sample had a 6% greater rate of yearly well-child visits when their mother received preventive care (adjusted rate ratio [ARR] = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.03-1.08) compared to no preventive care. Children in the father only sample had a 7% greater rate of yearly well-child visits when their father received preventive care (ARR = 1.07; 95% CI = 1.04-1.11) versus no preventive care. Children in the two parent sample had an 11% greater rate of yearly well-child visits when both parents received preventive care (ARR = 1.11; 95% CI = 1.03-1.19) compared to neither receiving preventive care. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest focusing on receipt of healthcare for the whole family may improve well-child visit rates.
