I disagree with the reply above, and I think the disagreement is substantive rather than terminological.

The distinction being drawn does not survive when you look at the published data for this specific question. I would be glad to be shown wrong on this, because the version I am arguing against is more convenient.

Regional variation in North America: access differs substantially by US state and Canadian province. Postcode is a major determinant of access.
