Abstract
Time and distance, the two common measures of travel, are examined as they relate to the use of various types of medical service facilities, using correlation and regression analysis. Different conclusions about the relative accessibility of health care facilities for selected sub-population groups result from the use of each measure separately. Differences in travel patterns to hospitals and those to physicians and dentists are observed when measured by time alone or by linear distance alone. Methodologic and health care implications are discussed.
