“…This approach can also be seen as an integration of regional availability (demand-to-supply ratio) and regional accessibility (interaction between supply and demand) (Ni et al 2015: 11491). The gravity model assumes that accessibility decreases with an increase in distance in a gravitational way (Joseph & Bantock 1982 as cited in Wan, Zou & Sternberg 2012: 1074 2 . In contrast to the travel cost approach this provides the possibility of including an additional factor (e.g.…”

“…To correct this problem Joseph and Bantock (1982) proposed the incorporation of population demand, understood as the sum of the populations that may access healthcare services, who are also affected by the travel cost function:…”

Indices explaining health phenomena are important tools for identifying and investigating health inequalities and to support policy making. Some of these indices are expressed at area-level, and the investigation of the areal influences of these indices on individual health outcomes have scale and geographical contextual implications that need to be assessed. In this study we calculated two area-level indices: one deprivation index and one index of healthcare accessibility. Using multilevel modelling, we calculated the area-level influences of these indices on an individual-level index of healthcare satisfaction considering three kinds of areas or contexts: a context of deprivation, a context of healthcare accessibility and a context combining the two characteristics of healthcare accessibility and deprivation. We evaluated two kinds of geographical problems using the statistical results of these area-level influences: the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) and the uncertain geographic context problem (UGCoP). Regarding the MAUP we evaluated the scale effects at two scales: census blocks and census tracts. Regarding the UGCoP we evaluated the differences in areal influences between the three kinds of contexts for both scales. The case study area was the city of Quito, Ecuador. The results of the performed analyses showed no severe MAUP and UGCoP, and revealed important evidence of the area-level influence of deprivation and healthcare accessibility on healthcare satisfaction.

“…where p is the population of families with children with incomes below 200 % of the FPL (a measure of the eligible population) in nearby census tract k and d is the drive travel time between site s and the centre of tract k (28,36) . Thus, the addition of the v s term further adjusts the 'value' of the supply at site s by accounting for the demand for summer meals; higher levels of demand in nearby census tracts would further increase the size of the denominator.…”
