“…When holding all other variables constant, economic problems were associated with an increase in the odds of treatment noncompliance of up to 2.3 times. The significant role of economic factors in this model is further supported by analyses reporting that financial strain (Dodrill, Batzel, Wilensky, & Yerby, 1987), unemployment (Buchanan, Soo Meng, & Marks, 1996;Dubinsky, 1986;Sung, Belenko, & Feng, 2001), substance use (Dubinsky), and low levels of educational attainment (Edwards & Rollnick, 1997;Sung et al, 2001;Wallace, Cutler, & Haines, 1985) were indicative of noncompliance with treatment for various mental and physical disorders.…”

This article integrates information from varied areas of research to explore the possible implications of financial strain for the endeavours of forensic psychologists. Based upon a review of the literature, it is argued that there is sufficient theoretical grounds and direct and indirect evidence to suggest an association between financial strain and crime that warrants further attention from forensic psychologists. Opportunities for future research and the implications of the available evidence for current best practice are discussed in the context of forensic psychologists as basic and applied scientists, policy evaluators, and justice advocates.

“…For example, a study of 4669 patients (not necessarily children) from an urban family practice residency clinic found the following factors to be associated with appointment keeping: older age, Asian or white race/ethnicity, private or managed care insurance, longer distances to travel to the clinic, and appointments scheduled for the day on which they contacted the clinic. 3 Factors that have been associated with visit noncompliance include male gender, 4 divorced/separated or single status, 4 younger age, 5 lower socioeconomic status, 6 unemployment, 7 alcohol or substance abuse, 7 parental psychiatric disorder, 8 absence of telephone reminders, 9 having no health insurance or being insured through medical assistance, 5,10 and having appointments that might evoke embarrassment or fear (eg, psychiatry or gynecology appointment). 4 One study found that provision of a taxicab voucher to pregnant, low income women resulted in a 22% increase in compliance with attending the initial prenatal visit.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors related to well-child visit noncompliance in an ethnically diverse family practice clinic population.Methods: Participants included 146 parents (131 mothers and 15 fathers) of children aged 0 to 24 months who received care at a St. Paul residency clinic. Participants completed telephone surveys that asked about their demographic characteristics, attitudes toward well-child visits, whether the most recent planned well-child visit had been kept, and their own and their child's health characteristics.Results: All participants thought that well-child visits were important, with immunizations being the highest rated reason for importance. Fourteen percent of parents said they had missed a recent wellchild visit, mostly because they forgot. More than three fourths of parents believed visit reminders were helpful, and the preferred type of reminder was a telephone call. Noncompliance with well-child visits was associated with the parent's depressive symptoms, transportation difficulties, working at a job, having private (vs public) health insurance, and being older (vs younger).Conclusions

“…This is shown in manifest behaviour, (a) by his or her willingness to attend the follow-up examination at all six months later, and (b) by his or her development of plaque, calculus and gingivitis over the same period. As we have argued in another report (Camner et al, 1994) there is a long and well-reasoned research tradition of both attendance and oral health as indicators of compliance (Dubinsky, 1986;Duda, Smart & Tappe, 1989;Fishbein & Stasson, 1990;Gilbert & Maxwell, 1987;Horowitz, 1978;McCaul, Bakdash, Geboy, Gerbert & Tedesco, 1990;Tedesco, Keffer, Davis & Christersson, 1992;Weinstein e t al., 1989;Wells, McDiarmid & Bayatpour, 1990;Zoega, Barr & Barsky, 1991).…”

The dentist's attitudes and their interaction with patient involvement in oral hygiene compliance

The influence on patient compliance of the dentist's attitudes to his or her job and to his or her patient was studied in a sample of 82 patients. The dentist's attitudes were assessed at the beginning of dental treatment. Treatment consisted of cleaning, depuration and motivation. At follow-up examination after six months, attendance at follow-up and the development of plaque, calculus and gingivitis were significantly predicted by the dentist's attitudes. A causal model, which also included factors of patient involvement, was developed. The compliance-producing factors were, primarily, the establishment of sympathy and an informal relationship between dentist and patient. The patient's habit of regularly making visits to a dentist, in a complex way, also contributed to compliance.
