Gender differences between men and women in health care access indicators in an urban, low-income community1) The independent variable is the gender differences between the men and women.
2) The depended variables of the study are factors that are associated with the rising gender differences in the growing health insurance and the normal health Medicare.
3) The methods used in the study included personal interviews, and the predictions of the two variables were done through logistical regression.
4) The sampling and conduct of the survey involved conducting an interview of 695 respondents who resided in New York, specifically Central Harlem. It is from this that the two variables of insurance and regular care system were analyzed.
5) From the findings of the study, there were no major differentials in the gender differences among those with normal care and those who had been insured. However, the statistical research shows that women who are employed on a full-time basis had an upper chance or probability of going out for a high insurance cover, unlike men. According to the logistical regression, men did not show any preferential even when on a full-term employment basis (Merzel, 1-2). A high level of public assistance contributed to high levels of insurance coverage for both men and women hence no significant gender variations. The level of social, economic factors played a significant role in determining access to insurance. Men were found to be profoundly affected by this.

Women had more access to routine care than men at 80% to 60% while private insurance was insignificant at 33 to 37%.
6) The assignment was put in the course to know the relationships between the various demographics in statistics. Also, it was put in place to know the meaning of independent variables and the depended variables.
