医疗保险通常不包括牙科福利。不知道这一事实的成年人在退休后可能会有意想不到的费用。本报告将探讨社会人口和口腔健康素养的决定因素，这方面的知识。数据来自多站点口腔健康素养研究，这是一项对两所大学牙科诊所患者的调查。社会人口统计学描述包括年龄、性别、种族/民族、教育水平和牙科保险状况。口腔健康素养是通过快速评估成人医学和牙科素养（REALM-D）来衡量的。只有34%的受访者知道医疗保险问题的正确答案。知识与年龄、种族/民族、教育水平（仅双变量）和REALM-D评分显著相关。政策制定者和协助医疗保险登记的人员应确保以不同文化、语言和文化的个人理解做出适当决定所需的方式传达有关牙科保险的信息。
Medicare does not usually include a dental benefit. Adults who are unaware of this fact risk unanticipated expenses after retirement. This report will explore the sociodemographic and oral health literacy determinants of this knowledge. Data came from the Multi-Site Oral Health Literacy Research Study, a survey of patients presenting to two university dental clinics. Sociodemographic descriptors included age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, and dental insurance status. Oral health literacy was measured by the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine and Dentistry (REALM-D). Only 34 percent of respondents knew the correct answer to the Medicare question. Knowledge was significantly associated with age, race/ethnicity, education level (bivariate only), and REALM-D score. Policymakers and those assisting in Medicare enrollment should ensure information regarding dental coverage is communicated in ways that individuals of varying literacy, language, and culture understand what is necessary to make appropriate decisions.
