We assessed access to health care, use of family planning, measurement and elevation of cholesterol, elevation of blood pressure, and respondents\u2019 perceptions of health and impairment among women aged 18\u201344 years with hGDM (n = 4,718). Multivariate models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, BMI, presence of children in the household, and current smoking.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS\u2014Outcome measures were suboptimal across racial\/ethnic groups. Approximately one-fifth of the overall population reported no health insurance, cost barriers to physician visits, and no primary care provider. One-quarter had no examination within the past year, and almost one-fifth reported no family planning and elevated cholesterol levels. Latinas were the most disadvantaged, with 40% reporting no health insurance and no primary care provider and one-fourth reporting suboptimal perceptions of health. Asian\/Pacific Islanders were the most advantaged in terms of health care access, cholesterol and blood pressure elevation, and impaired physical health. Racial\/ethnic differences in health care use and presence of risk factors were not entirely explained by health care access or other covariates.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014Significant racial\/ethnic variation exists among women with hGDM for access to and use of health care, presence of risk factors, and perceptions of health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/dc06-2523","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,25]],"date-time":"2007-05-25T20:13:49Z","timestamp":1180124029000},"page":"1459-1465","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Racial and Ethnic Variation in Access to Health Care, Provision of Health Care Services, and Ratings of Health Among Women With Histories of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Catherine","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brandy","family":"Sinco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edith A.","family":"Kieffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031221155122700_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Knowler WC, Barrett-Connor E, Fowler SE, Hamman RF, Lachin JM, Walker EA, Nathan DM: Reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin.
