The objective of the research was testing the effect of the level of concentration of health needs in the countries of the, so called, New European Union in terms of income and education on the level of health inequality.When planning the study, the following research hypothesis was put forward: H1: there is a relation between meeting the self-reported health needs and the level of education or income of populations of New UE countries. The formulated hypothesis was explicitly confirmed during the analysis of the concentration of the three traits of health care accessibility, which showed that the highest level of concentration indicating a conscious need for taking advantage of specialist medical examinations necessary for the improvement of health was observed in social groups with high education (ED5_8) and income (Q80_100), Q60_80).(original abstract)

Celem badania było oszacowanie poziomu koncentracji potrzeb zdrowotnych w krajach tzw. nowej Unii Europejskiej według dochodu wykształcenia oraz ocena poziomu nierówności zdrowotnej. Na etapie projektowania badania postawiono następującą hipotezę badawczą: H1: istnieje związek między zaspokajaniem zgłaszanych potrzeb zdrowotnych a poziomem wykształcenia lub dochodu ludności w nowych krajów UE. Hipoteza ta została potwierdzona w trakcie analizy koncentracji trzech cech dostępności opieki zdrowotnej. Wykazano, że w grupach społecznych o wysokim poziomie wykształcenia (ED5_8) oraz dochodu (Q80_100), (Q60_80) zaobserwowano najwyższy poziom koncentracji, wskazujący na świadomą potrzebę korzystania ze specjalistycznych badań koniecznych dla poprawy zdrowia.(abstrakt oryginalny)
