Abstract
This study investigated the effect of spatial accessibility to healthcare services (HS) in residential and workplace neighbourhoods on the use of HS. Questionnaire data from the RECORD Study (2007-2008) were merged with administrative healthcare and geographic data. A novel method was developed to assess clustering of visits to HS around the residence/workplace. We found clustered use of HS around the workplace for few participants (11%). Commuting from suburbs to Paris and commuting distance were associated with a higher use of HS around the workplace. No associations were found between the spatial accessibility to and the use of HS.
