These obstacles might lead to missed or postponed medical appointments, higher healthcare costs, and generally poorer health results.

Abstract

[The social and economic context in which people live has a direct impact on their health and well-being. Research demonstrated that social and economic factors, such as access to good food, housing status, educational achievement, and access to transportation, account for 40% of health, while only 20% of health can be linked to medical care. Access to healthcare services may be hampered by transportation restrictions. These obstacles might lead to missed or postponed medical appointments, higher healthcare costs, and generally poorer health results. Creating accessible and suitable transportation options can improve community health.]
