Adequacy of Medical Home Primary Care and Factors Associated With Educational Services Use Among Children and Youth With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Date Presented 04/02/2022 Children and youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) use educational services for their complex needs. We analyzed the 2016/2017 National Survey of Children’s Health to examine the association between inadequate medical home primary care (MHPC) and educational service use in children with ASD. Inadequate MHPC was significantly associated with higher odds of educational service use. After adjustment, inadequate MHPC was significantly associated with lower odds of educational service use.
