The economic value of increasing geospatial access to tetanus toxoid immunization in Mozambique.
The researchers assessed how well tetanus toxoid (TT) immunization locations meet population demand in Mozambique. They found that TT immunization locations are not geographically accessible by a significant proportion of pregnant women, resulting in substantial healthcare and productivity costs that could potentially be averted by adding or reconfiguring TT immunization locations.

Financial burdens and barriers to care among nonelderly adults: the role of functional limitations and chronic conditions.
The researchers examined the financial burdens and barriers to care among nonelderly adults, focusing on the role of functional limitations and chronic conditions. Functional limitations and chronic conditions were associated with increased prevalence of burdens and financial barriers in all insurance categories, with the exception that an association between functional limitations and the prevalence of burdens was not observed for public coverage.

Oral health equity and unmet dental care needs in a population-based sample: findings from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin.
The authors explored individual-, psychosocial-, and community-level predictors of oral health status in the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin Oral Health Screening project. Their results suggested that costs were a primary predictor of access to care and poor oral health status, underscoring the role that primary care, in conjunction with dental health care providers, could play in promoting oral health care, particularly in reducing barriers and promoting preventive health behaviors.
