Access to healthcare is an important policy issue in Luxembourg. Survey data are commonly used to ascertain individuals\u2019 perceptions of unmet need arising from various barriers to accessing care. We investigated the prevalence of unmet need arising from wait times, distance\/transportation and financial affordability using data from 4,004 respondents to the European Health Interview Survey in Luxembourg. We also explored associations between individual characteristics and the probability of reporting unmet need. Among respondents who reported a need for healthcare, the most common barrier to access arose from wait times (32%) and the least common from distance\/transportation (4%). Dental care (12%) was most often reported as unaffordable, followed by prescribed medicines (6%), medical (5%) and mental health (5%) care. Respondents who reported bad\/very bad health were associated with a higher risk of unmet need compared to those with good\/very good health. Income between the fourth and fifth quintiles was associated with a lower risk of unmet need for dental care, prescribed medicines and mental healthcare compared with income between the first and second quintiles. Recent and planned reforms to address waiting times and financial barriers to accessing healthcare may help to address unmet need. In addition, policy-makers should consider additional policies targeted at high-risk groups with poor health and low incomes.<\/p>
