Sammanfattning
This study measures the strength of the association between trauma visit rates and aerial socio-economic and demographic variables. It also attempts to quantify the possible selective impact of user charges on healthcare demand in socioeconomically and demographically different areas in order to estimate the dimensions of any price-induced discrimination against the inhabitants of poorer suburbs.
