Abstract
A cross-sectional analysis using data from the
American Hospital Association Annual Survey from 2005
linked with zip code–level data from the US Census. We
used a multinomial logit model to examine the odds of
having difficult as opposed to easy access to trauma centers
for a given subgroup of vulnerable populations.
