BACKGROUND: People with a migrant background report higher levels of discrimination compared to the general population. Discrimination is a complex issue with profound effects on individual well-being and public health. The aim was to study the associations between socio-demographic, health service and migration-related covariates and experiences of discrimination in health services among migrant and general population health service users in Fin…
