Abstract
ABSTRACT Perceptions of medical care access were evaluated for participants in the Iowa Farm Family Health and Hazard Survey (IFFHHS) based on a representative sample of 373 Iowa principal farm operators. Although few Iowa farmers (3.4%) reported access difficulty, 32.2% of Iowa farmers ranked medical care access and health insurance as the most important area on which they wanted help. Based on a weighted multiple logistic regression model, perceived medical access difficulty was greater (P < 0.05) for farmers without medical insurance, with no usual medical care provider, who currently smoke and with fair or poor general health by 20.68, 20.04, 10.43 and 7.27 times, respectively.
