This study employs a sequential logit model to account for the effects of predisposing, enabling and need factors in all stages of utilization of health services.
A variation of the hurdle or two-part model, which can be used to model sequential stages of utilization [ 15- 18] was used to analyze the association between diabetes and dental utilization.
A sequential logit model was used to account for movement in all stages of utilization: use of any health services (i.e., first stage), having a perceived need for specialty care (i.e., second stage), and utilization of specialty care (i.e., third stage).
A previous publication reviewed adsorption ability of entrapment matrices which was commonly found at the early stage of matrix utilization (Siripattanakul and Khan, 2010).
Comparison of the heat energy consumption among the three stages of heat utilization in the building is also made.
Its health system is no longer in the beginning stages of DRG utilization.
According to this process-oriented model, both internal and external contextual factors impact on how evidence is weighed to justify decisions across the three stages of evidence utilization (i.e., the introduction, interpretation and application of evidence [ 28]).
Based on recent novel insight into the pathogenesis of DR, novel chemical and biological treatments have emerged, but are either still in the initial stages of clinical utilization or are currently undergoing clinical trials [ 6].
The "conceptual use" overlaps with "reference" stage of the research utilization ladder.
By the end of the scale-up stage, a utilization rate of 80% is reached, meaning that 80% of the population at risk uses locally appropriate malaria prevention methods.
