ObjectivesPerceived Social Status (PSS) is a measure of cumulative socioeconomic circumstances that takes perceived self‐control into account. It is hypothesized to better capture social class compared to socioeconomic status (SES) measures (i.e., education, occupation, and income). This study examined the association between PSS and dental utilization, comparing the strength of associations between dental utilization and PSS and SES measures among a low‐income adult Medicaid population.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey was administered to a random sample of low‐income adults in Iowa, United States with Medicaid dental insurance (N= 18,000) in the spring of 2018. Respondents were asked about PSS, dental utilization, and demographics. A set of multivariable logistic regression models examined the relative effects of PSS and SES measures on dental utilization, controlling for age, sex, health literacy, whether the respondent was aware they had dental insurance, transportation, and perceived need of dental care.ResultsThe adjusted response rate was 25%, with a final sample size of 2252. Mean PSS (range 1–10) was 5.3 (SD 1.9). PSS was significantly associated with dental utilization (OR = 1.11; CI = 1.05, 1.18) when adjusting for control variables, whereas other SES measures—education, employment, and income—were not.ConclusionsPSS demonstrated a small positive association with dental utilization. Results support the relative importance of PSS, in addition to SES measures, as PSS may capture aspects of social class that SES measures do not. Results suggest the need for future research to consider the effects of PSS on oral health outcomes and behaviors.
