Résumé

Even under a universal regime of healthcare insurance, some people find it difficult to access primary healthcare. This research aims to identify individual and social factors that contribute to these difficulties in the province of Québec. We extracted the data from the public use dataset of the Canadian Communities Health Survey (2.1). We fitted three logistic regression models to test the significance of associations of covariates with outcomes, guided by Andersen’s behavioral model of access to care. The dependent variable is a dummy which accounts for self-reported unmet needs for care. The results suggest unmet needs of healthcare are associated with needs variables rather than with variables related to predisposing characteristics or to enabling resources. The geographic factor also is not significant, save for the health region of Québec.
