Implication

Cross-sectional and temporal analysis reveals significant disparities in spatial access to primary and specialty care across rural and urban populations.

Key Points

Non-metropolitan areas have poorer multi-modal spatial access to primary care compared to metropolitan areas.
Cross-sectional data shows significant disparities in specialty care access in rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Multi-modal access to primary care in 2016 was worse than specialty care access, with no improvements over time.
A new composite measure for spatial access incorporates various travel modalities, enhancing studies on healthcare accessibility.
