Patterns and Predictors of Health Service Utilization in Adolescents With Pain: Comparison Between a Community and a Clinical Pain Sample

Abstract: There is limited research describing the patterns of healthcare utilization in adolescents with chronic pain. This study describes healthcare utilization in a clinical chronic pain sample, and compares the patterns of service use of this group to a community sample with intermittent pain complaints. We also investigated demographic and clinical factors that predicted healthcare visits and medication use in the clinical sample. Data on 117 adolescents (aged 12-18; n=59 clinical pain sample, n=58 community) were… Show more

“…Factors associated with physician visits due to recurrent pain may be relevant to better understand children seeking professional help, and shape the health care system. So far, only three studies have systematically investigated pain-and demographic characteristics as predictors of health care utilization in pediatric pain patients (Perquin et al, 2001;Huguet & Miró, 2008;Toliver-Sokol et al, 2011). These studies agree that pain characteristics are associated with pain-related health care utilization.…”

“…Physician consultation in pediatric pain 3 highly relevant predictors of health care utilization in other contexts such as socioeconomic status (SES) or migration background, have rarely been studied, and if have been found to not be related to health care utilization (Perquin et al, 2001;Toliver-Sokol et al, 2011). Reasons for these inconsistencies may be small sample sizes (N) relative to the number of variables studied (K), and use of univariate analysis (Huguet & Miró, 2008).…”

“…60,61 This discriminative tool has been validated with children with chronic pain conditions ( Table 2). [62][63][64][65][66][67] The working group deemed the Body Diagram to be approaching wellestablished in psychometric properties with strong clinical utility. As a standalone tool, the Body Diagram would not provide as much detailed information related to chronic pain interference and thereby, is recommended by current reviewers to be paired with another tool.…”
