【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Drawing on the Andersen model, there is a large body of evidence examining the determinants of health care use, such as doctor visits or hospitalization. However, far less is known about the determinants of dental service use, explicitly using the Andersen model. Consequently, the aim of this systematic review is to summarize and critically analyze evidence from observational studies that examine the determinants of dental service use based on the Andersen model. Methods and analysis: The following electronic databases will be searched: PubMed, PsycInfo, and CINAHL. Our main inclusion criterion is: observational studies (cross-sectional and longitudinal) investigating the determinants of dental service use based on the Andersen model. Disease-specific samples will be excluded. Data extraction will concentrate on methods (such as measurement of dental service use), sample characteristics (such as age and gender) and key results. The study quality will be assessed using an appropriate tool. Three steps (selecting the studies, extracting the data and assessment of study conducted) will be performed by two reviewers. The findings will be displayed using figures, summary tables, narrative summaries and meta-analysis (if studies are deemed similar enough and of appropriate quality).
