The State of Research on Racial/Ethnic Discrimination in The Receipt of Health Care
Objectives. We conducted a review to examine current literature on the effects of interpersonal and institutional racism and discrimination occurring within health care settings on the health care received by racial/ethnic minority patients. Methods. We searched the PsychNet, PubMed, and Scopus databases for articles on US populations published between January 1, 2008 and November 1, 2011. We used various combinations of the following search term…
Research on Race/Ethnicity and Health Care Discrimination
The article discusses various reports published within the issue, including one by Smedley on the interaction of race and gender, one by Krieger on the relationship between discrimination and health disparities and one by Cooper et al. on the relationship between physicians' attitudes about race and patients' ratings of medical care
Workplace and home smoking restrictions and racial/ethnic variation in the prevalence and intensity of current cigarette smoking among women by poverty status, TUS-CPS 1998–1999 and 2001–2002
Study objective: Recognition of the health consequences of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has led government agencies and many employers to establish policies that restrict cigarette smoking in public and workplaces. This cross sectional study examines the association of workplace smoking policies and home smoking restrictions with current smoking among women. Design: Participants were employed US women ages 18–64 who were self responden…
Race/Ethnicity and the Intensity of Medical Monitoring Under ‘Watchful Waiting’ for Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that racial/ethnic minority patients with prostate cancer are more frequently managed with "watchful waiting." Little, however, is known about the medical care received among men managed with watchful waiting. We examine the type and intensity of medical monitoring received by African American, Hispanic, and white patients with prostate cancer managed with "watchful waiting" in fee-for-service systems. METH…
Racial Differences in Factors that Influence the Willingness to Participate in Medical Research Studies
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Receipt of Cancer Treatment
A disproportionate number of cancer deaths occur among racial/ethnic minorities, particularly African Americans, who have a 33% higher risk of dying of cancer than whites. Although differences in incidence and stage of disease at diagnosis may contribute to racial disparities in mortality, evidence of racial disparities in the receipt of treatment of other chronic diseases raises questions about the possible role of inequities in the receipt of c…
