Abstract

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and obtaining preventive care (hereafter, prevention-activity) usually have an inverse association with poverty status and unmet needs. We seek to estimate the extent to which the effect of individual unmet needs status on prevention-activity is moderated by the generosity of the healthcare system.
