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.
