Still, Americans' health status is worse than their peers in seven other developed countries (the U.K., Germany, Sweden, Canada, France, Australia, and Japan), as measured by life expectancy at birth and infant mortality rate. Although we have a good understanding of the structural characteristics of the U.S. health care system which differentiate it from the health care systems in other countries, what we know less about is the effects of the configuration of health care system on public satisfaction and population health and how the changes in economy affect public support for government intervention in health care. In my dissertation, I use multilevel models to explore individual and between-country differences in public opinion on health care and its implications for medical profession in 31 countries, and the age-period-cohort effects on public attitude toward government role in health care in the U.S. In chapter one, I investigated the relationship between individual socio-economic characteristics with general satisfaction with the health care system as well as the effects of the macro-level variables including the financing configuration of the health care system and the percentage of aging population. Chapter two extends the framework in the first paper from my dissertation by looking at the relationship between individual socio-economic characteristics and trust in physicians as well as that between the country-level institutional set-up of health care systems (i.e. different types of health care system) and public trust in physicians. Chapter three employs hierarchical age-period-cohort models and binary logistic models to investigate the change of public attitudes toward government intervention in health care from 1986 to 2018 in the United States.","**To request an accessible version of the file(s) associated with this item, contact library@buffalo.edu.
