Overview

Analysis shows socioeconomic inequalities and social networks affect dental service access in Brazil, indicating rural individuals may struggle more.

Key Points

  • Prevalence of recent dental visits was only 14.7% in rural males with low socioeconomic status and social networks.
  • Confidence intervals for dental service utilization revealed disparities based on demographics and income.
  • Multinomial logistic regression assessed probabilities from 2019 National Health Survey data across various settings.
  • This highlights that understanding socioeconomic inequalities is crucial for improving healthcare access in rural areas.
