Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine determinants of unmet healthcare needs among the community-dwelling Korean adults with disabilities. Needs are defined as subjective demand, the possession of necessary rehabilitation equipment, and health screening service. Logistic regression estimations using data from the 2008 Survey of People with Disabilities find that health-related factors such as prolonged chronic illness and limitations in ADLs and IADLs are statistically significant factors whereas educational level and income are not. Results further show that non-monetary factors such as the presence of informal caregivers, physical mobilitiy, and knowledge of the insurance benefit are important to ensure adequate access to necessary care among people with disabilities.
