Abstract
This paper presents a review of the literature examining determinants of access to health care among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The literature shows that health insurance, race-ethnicity, income, age, gender, and residential location (rural/urban) are common themes discussed in the literature as factors that influence access to health care of persons with SCI. This review ends with discussion of implications for rehabilitation counseling research and practice.
