Does the Quality of Behavior Change Counseling in Routine HIV Care Vary According to Topic and Demand
Factors Associated with Health Inequalities in Infectious Disease Pandemics Predating Covid-19 in the United States
Mandated Implicit Bias Training for Health Professionals—A Step Toward Equity in Health Care
This JAMA Forum discusses ways that mandated implicit bias training for health professionals can focus on specific clinical areas and populations, advance the evidence base on the effective elements of implicit bias training, and establish qualifications for trainers
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Covid-19–Related Infections, Hospitalizations, and Deaths
BACKGROUND: Data suggest that the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) differ among U.S. racial/ethnic groups. PURPOSE: To evaluate racial/ethnic disparities in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection rates and COVID-19 outcomes, factors contributing to disparities, and interventions to reduce them. DATA SOURCES: English-language articles in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlle…

What Causes Racial Health Care Disparities? A Mixed-Methods Study Reveals Variability in How Health Care Providers Perceive Causal Attributions
Progress to address health care equity requires health care providers' commitment, but their engagement may depend on their perceptions of the factors contributing to inequity. To understand providers' perceptions of causes of racial health care disparities, a short survey was delivered to health care providers who work at 3 Veterans Health Administration sites, followed by qualitative interviews (N = 53). Survey data indicated that providers att…

Health Disparities in Veterans
BACKGROUND: Goals for improving the quality of care for all Veterans and eliminating health disparities are outlined in the Veterans Health Administration Blueprint for Excellence, but the degree to which disparities in utilization, health outcomes, and quality of care affect Veterans is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the research on health care disparities in the Veterans Health Administration by means of a map of the evidence.…
African American experiences in healthcare
African Americans experience poor communication with their health care providers, medical mistrust, and perceived discrimination when accessing health care in numerous and sometimes interrelated ways. The investigators recommend ways to reduce the experience of such barriers and to improve patient-provider relationships for African Americans in health care. (PsycINFO Database Record
Which Clinician Questions Elicit Accurate Disclosure of Antiretroviral Non-adherence When Talking to Patients
Interventions that Reach into Communities-Promising Directions for Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Healthcare
Provider–Patient Communication About Adherence to Anti-retroviral Regimens Differs by Patient Race and Ethnicity
The impact of depressive symptoms on patient–provider communication in HIV care
Persons with HIV who develop depression have worse medical adherence and outcomes. Poor patient-provider communication may play a role in these outcomes. This cross-sectional study evaluated the influence of patient depression on the quality of patient-provider communication. Patient-provider visits (n=406) at four HIV care sites were audio-recorded and coded with the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS). Negative binomial and linear regressi…
Race, Relationships, and Trust in Providers among Black Patients with HIV/Aids
A trustful patient-provider relationship is a strong predictor of positive outcomes, including treatment adherence and viral suppression, among patients with HIV/AIDS. Understanding factors that inform this relationship is especially relevant for Black patients, who bear a disproportionate burden of HIV morbidity and mortality, and may face challenges associated with seeing providers of a racial/ethnic background that is different from their own.…
Provider-patient Adherence Dialogue in HIV Care
The Impact of Racism on Clinician Cognition, Behavior, and Clinical Decision Making
Over the past two decades, thousands of studies have demonstrated that Blacks receive lower quality medical care than Whites, independent of disease status, setting, insurance, and other clinically relevant factors. Despite this, there has been little progress towards eradicating these inequities. Almost a decade ago we proposed a conceptual model identifying mechanisms through which clinicians' behavior, cognition, and decision making might be i…
Patient–Provider Communication Differs for Black Compared to White HIV-Infected Patients
Substance Use and the Quality of Patient-Provider Communication in HIV Clinics
Patient race and physicians' decisions to prescribe opioids for chronic low back pain
Are Preventable Hospitalizations Sensitive to Changes in Access to Primary Care
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether preventable hospitalization (PH) rates are sensitive to the impact of policies aimed at improving access, such as the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), which expanded Medicaid coverage to all adults with incomes under the federal poverty level. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective, time series analysis of PH rates in Oregon from 1990 to 2000. We calculated hospitalization rates for ambulatory-care sensitive conditions …
The Latina Paradox
Latina mothers in the United States enjoy surprisingly favorable birth outcomes despite their social disadvantages. This “Latina paradox” is particularly evident among Mexican-born women. The social and cultural factors that contribute to this paradox are maintained by community networks—informal systems of prenatal care that are composed of family, friends, community members, and lay health workers. This informal system confers protective factor…
Patient–Physician Relationships and Racial Disparities in the Quality of Health Care
Objectives. This study explored whether racial differences in patient–physician relationships contribute to disparities in the quality of health care. Methods. We analyzed data from The Commonwealth Fund’s 2001 Health Care Quality Survey to determine whether racial differences in patients’ satisfaction with health care and use of basic health services were explained by differences in quality of patient–physician interactions, physicians’ cultural…
Do Patients Choose Physicians Of Their Own Race?
This study seeks to determine whether minority Americans tend to see physicians of their own race as a matter of choice or simply because minority physicians are more conveniently located within predominantly minority communities. Using data from the Commonwealth Fund 1994 National Comparative Survey of Minority Health Care, we found that black and Hispanic Americans sought care from physicians of their own race because of personal preference and…
Patient-Physician Racial Concordance and the Perceived Quality and Use of Health Care
BACKGROUND: Patients from racial and ethnic minority groups use fewer health care services and are less satisfied with their care than patients from the majority white population. These disparities may be attributable in part to racial or cultural differences between patients and their physicians. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether racial concordance between patients and physicians affects patients' satisfaction with and use of health care. METHODS:…
