Using data from the 1998-2008 Health and Retirement Study, the use of mammograms, pap smears, prostate cancer screenings, cholesterol checks, and flu shots is examined among 2,975 self-reported non-users of such services. Older women who experience a health shock are 1.86, 1.50, 1.79, and 1.46 times more likely to begin getting mammograms, pap smears, cholesterol checks, and flu shots, respectively. Older men who experience a health shock are 2.24, 2.72, and 1.64 times more likely to begin getting prostate cancer screenings, cholesterol checks, and flu shots, respectively. All of these results are statistically significant. Thus, older adults often improve their health behaviors after experiencing an adverse health event.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0733464816657474","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,23]],"date-time":"2016-07-23T20:08:21Z","timestamp":1469304501000},"page":"856-880","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Health Shocks and Initiation of Use of Preventive Services Among Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Boon Peng","family":"Ng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gail A.","family":"Jensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0733464816657474","unstructured":"Administration on Aging.
