Using survey data from participants in a public housing relocation program in Atlanta, Georgia, we examine post-relocation changes in healthcare access (having a usual source of care, having an unmet need) and utilization (receiving a medical exam). Although participants moved to safer, less impoverished neighborhoods, some participants experienced improvements in access and utilization whereas others experienced declines. The supply of healthcare providers in the new neighborhood and having health insurance were associated with improvements in access for this population. Future relocation efforts may seek to assist individuals with choosing a new neighborhood that has accessible healthcare resources for low-income populations.
利用佐治亚州亚特兰大市公共住房搬迁项目参与者的调查数据，我们研究了搬迁后医疗保健可及性（有常规医疗服务来源、有未满足的需求）和利用率（接受体检）的变化。尽管参与者搬到了更安全、贫困程度更低的社区，但一些参与者的可及性和利用率有所改善，而另一些则出现了下降。新社区的医疗服务提供者供应情况和拥有医疗保险与该人群可及性的改善有关。未来的搬迁工作可能会寻求帮助个人选择一个为低收入人群提供可及医疗资源的新社区。
