Step-by-step explanation:

They are:

  1. potential access
  2. realized access
  3. equitable or inequitable access
  4. efficient and effective access

According to Andersen, Potential access refers to the availability of resources that would allow an individual to seek care if needed. The Realized access is viewed as the actual use of the care, that is, the individual realizes (or makes use of ) the potential access. Further, Andersen describes Equitable access as a type of access driven by demographic characteristics and need. While Inequitable access results not from demographic characteristics and need but from the individual's social structure, health beliefs, and enabling resources.
