I got asked a question today, from a transportation perspective,
about access to health care and health facilities. As I started to hunt
around on the web I thought I would throw it out to our Listserve. Does
anyone know of any research, literature or other articles that they
could pass along dealing with access to health care services?
Thanks

Im actually presenting research in that area in DC next month. I'm not in a
position now to give the names of articles (im driving) But I can send them
to you and suggest sites.

There is limited information on this topic. I did a review of this and other EJ impacts
for EPA a few years ago.
A few studies have looked at transport access to facilities and their association to
health outcomes. Most studies treated the "exposure variable" as auto
ownership. Net conclusion is that auto owners have better access to health facilities.
THere is a very limited association to health outcomes.
I would not take this as a null result -- just one that has been understudied.

These are the studies I found in a 2009 review -- i'm sure there are new ones.

access in a non-elderly urban poor American population. Health and Social Care in the
Community. 2001; 9:445-453.

and Underserved. 2006; 17:928-43.
