Aim:To examine the relationship between individual and regional levels ofsekenteiand attitudes toward care services in the general Japanese population.Methods:A cross‐sectional survey was conducted in January and February 2005 using a mailed‐in self‐administered questionnaire. Participants were 4735 community residents aged 20–75 years living in 23 regions in the city of Koka in Shiga Prefecture. Questions encompassed demographic data, attitudes toward the use of formal care services and the Sekentei Scale. The regional variable ofsekenteiwas constructed by aggregating the individualsekenteiscores within elementary school districts. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between individual and regionalsekenteiand attitudes toward care services.Results:A total of 2264 questionnaires were analyzed. Approximately 16% of respondents were willing to use formal care services. Multilevel analysis showed that lower individualsekenteiwas associated with the willingness to use formal care services among both men and women (odds ratio [OR] = 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.93–0.99 in men; OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.92–1.00 in women). Among men, the negative association between regionalsekenteiand the willingness to use formal care services was marginally significant (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.48–1.01) as was the interaction between individual and regionalsekenteilevels.Conclusion:These results indicate the importance of assessing not only the individualsekenteilevel but also thesekenteilevel in different regions to develop strategies for the allocation of care resources.Geriatr Gerontol Int 2011; 11: 166–173.
