Note: [English Title] Not available [English Abstract] The shortage of empirical studies on socioeconomic factors influencing demand for health care and inequalities across social groups is dramatic in the case of Turkey. The present study aims at discussing these issues, although its results are to be considered mainly methodological, given the smail dimension of the sample (N=1092). A survey was carried out in socioeconomically different two areas in Antalya. Attention was paid to report every 'symptom', considered as a cause of demand for health services, within the reference period (two weeks) in order to properly link health needs with utilization of health services. The assessment of health status across social groups, using three different indicators, shows the weakest social groups as the most vulnerable. The same groups report lower per capita health services uses than their morbidity conditions would require. A multivariable analyses carried out with logistic regression technique show a constant relationship between the social security status and health services utilization. The paper examines the implications of these findings. [English Keywords] Not available
