| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par IRDES q9R0x7rE. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. New data (EU-SILC : community statistics on income and living conditions) allows the study of subjective unmet need for examination or treatment. This paper presents new estimates of horizontal inequity in access to medical examination or treatment in fourteen European countries. This concept is closer too access than utilisation. We use a multiple regression approach to study systematic variations in unmet need. The results demonstrate great variation in unmet need during the last 12 months ranging from 1.3% for Denmark up to 13.1% in Sweden. The main reasons for unmet need are costs, waiting lists, watchful waiting and lack of time. Unmet need appeared to be systematically related to non-need characteristics. Income appeared to be most influential, followed by degree of urbanisation, education and being foreign to the country. |
