ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Entender y cuantificar la relación entre los perfiles socioeconómico y de aseguramiento en salud y el uso de servicios médicos ambulatorios en el contexto de la universalización de la salud en México. Material y métodos. Utilizando la ENSANUT 2012, se estimaron modelos de regresión multinomial para analizar el uso de servicios ambulatorios y sus factores asociados. Resultados. La población con mayor pobreza, menor nivel educativo y residente de zonas de alta marginación tiene menor posibilidad de usar servicios de salud ambulatorios. En contraste, tener un seguro de salud y mayores ingresos favorecen el uso e influyen en la elección del proveedor. Conclusiones. Persisten barreras en el acceso a la salud asociadas con la condición de pobreza y de protección social. Sin embargo, existe espacio para disminuir el efecto de estas barreras, abordando las restricciones en la oferta de los servicios y en la calidad percibida de los mismos.


Objective. Understand and quantify the relationship between socio-economic and health insurance profiles and the use of outpatient medical services in the context of universal health care in Mexico. Materials and methods. Using ENSANUT 2012 multinomial regression models were estimated to analyze the use of outpatient services and associated factors. Results. Population with greater poverty levels, lower educational level and living in highly marginalized areas have lower odds to use outpatient health services. In contrast, health insurance and higher income increase the odds to use health services and influence the choice of provider. Conclusions. Barriers to access to health care related to poverty and social protection persist. However, there is space to lower the effect of these barriers by addressing constraints linked to the supply and the perceived quality of healthcare services.
