Determinants of healthcare utilization by older refugees in the United States: a modified Andersen Behavioral Model approach

Findings highlight key determinants of healthcare utilization and suggest a need for targeted interventions to improve older refugees' use of health services. Notably, need-based health variables were not significantly linked to exam completion. Expanding insurance, education, culturally responsive care, and community-based interventions could enhance access. Future research should incorporate administrative health data and qualitative methods to address survey limitations and explore within-group differences in healthcare utilization.
