摘要:
The number of female veterans has more than doubled in the last 15 years, and this growth is expected to continue. This study examines the current utilization of both overall and Veterans Administration (VA) health care services by female veterans. Current utilization is studied as a set of contact decisions: whether or not to utilize any inpatient, VA inpatient, any outpatient, and VA outpatient services. Probit regression is used to estimate these dichotomous choices. Results indicate that health status and some demographic variables are significantly related to the use of all four types of care. In addition, use of other VA benefits, the absence of private insurance coverage, and low income are predictors of use of the VA.
