abstract = {An important recent change in the Spanish society is the increasing
proportion of the population who are immigrants. Immigrants often face situations of
social exclusion and disadvantage, circumstances that may affect their health status.
Empirical evidence about differences in health status or the utilisation of health
services between native and immigrant population is however insufficient. This paper
uses the 2003 National Health Survey to explore whether non-Spaniards, for the same
level of need, use health care services at the same rate as national citizens. The
findings show different patterns of health care use to the disadvantage of immigrants.},
