Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to examine the current conditions of access to health service and health status among people, using various surveys and existing data. Using the Population Census and the Survey of Physicians, Dentists, and Pharmacists in Japan, we showed that dentist distribution was improved for these 20 years while that physician distribution was not much improved. In addition, the ratios of physicians to population in small rural secondary tier of medical care increased because of decreases in the population and not because of an increase of physicians. Using the data of the Japanese Study of Stratification, Health, Income, and Neighborhood (J-SHINE), we showed that precarious work was associated with lower access to preventive and ambulatory services, and suggested pro-rich inequality in general residents, in which high income group had better access to dental service. We also reported various aspects of the access issues in the policy context.
