Résumé : | This papers offers a critical appraisal of the various methods used to date to investigate inequity in the delivery of health care. It concludes that none of the methods used to date is particularly well equipped toprovide unbiassed estimates of the extend of inequity. It also concludes that Le Grand's (1978) approach is likely topoint towards inequity favouring the rich even when none exits. The paper offers an alternative approach, which builds on the approaches to date but seeks to overcome their deficiencies. (R.A.) |
