当人们寻求医疗保健时，很少有医疗保健可及性的措施考虑到多种交通方式。在两步浮动集水区法（2SFCAM）的基础上，提出了一种将交通方式纳入可达性评价的新方法。以美国佛罗里达为例，介绍了多模式2SFCAM的实现过程，并与传统单模式2SFCAM的可达性估计进行了比较。结果表明，多模态方法，通过占人口的异质性，提供了更现实的可及性估计，从而为政策制定者提供了更好的指导，以减轻健康不公平问题。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有，
Few measures of healthcare accessibility have considered multiple transportation modes when people seek healthcare. Based on the framework of the 2 Step Floating Catchment Area Method (2SFCAM), we proposed an innovative method to incorporate transportation modes into the accessibility estimation. Taking Florida, USA, as a study area, we illustrated the implementation of the multi-mode 2SFCAM, and compared the accessibility estimates with those from the traditional single-mode 2SFCAM. The results suggest that the multi-modal method, by accounting for heterogeneity in populations, provides more realistic accessibility estimations, and thus offers a better guidance for policy makers to mitigate health inequity issues.
