title: Does Receiving Clinical Preventive Services Vary across Different Types of Primary Healthcare Organizations? Evidence from a Population-Based Survey.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To measure the association between primary healthcare (PHC) organizational types and patient coverage for clinical preventive services (CPS).
  
  
  METHODS
  Study conducted in Quebec (2005), including a population-based survey of patients' experience of care (N=4,417) and a survey of PHC clinics.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patient-reported CPS delivery rates and CPS coverage scores. Multiple logistic regressions used to assess factors associated with higher probability of receiving CPS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  CPS delivery rates were higher among patients with a regular source of PHC. Higher CPS score was associated with having a public (OR 1.79; 95% CI 1.35-2.37) or mixed (OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.01-1.48) type of organization as source of PHC compared to a private one, and having had a high number of visits to the regular source of PHC in the past two years (≤6: OR 1.83; 95% CI 1.41-2.38) compared to a single visit.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Public and mixed PHC organizations seem to perform better. CPS delivery is strongly associated with having a regular source of care.
