[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 8R0xBDD9. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We sought to estimate the influenza and pneumococcal vaccination coverage among older American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) adults nationally and the impact of sociodemographic factors, variations by geographic region, and access to services on vaccination coverage. Methods. We obtained our sample of 1981 AIAN and 179845 White respondents 65 years and older from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from 2003 to 2005. Logistic regression provided predictive marginal vaccination coverage for each covariate and adjusted for demographic characteristics and access to care. Results. Unadjusted influenza coverage estimates were similar between AIAN and White respondents (68.1% vs 69.5%), but pneumococcal vaccination was lower among AIAN respondents (58.1% vs 67.2% ; P<. after multivariable adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics self-reported coverage both vaccines was statistically similar between aian and white adults. conclusions. although there no disparity in influenza pneumococcal lower among than respondents probably because of risk factors. regional variation indicates a need to monitor target interventions reduce disparities within geographically culturally diverse subpopulations persons.>
