The present study explores the association between patient-provider communication quality and medical mistrust in a sample of 174 young Black women, aged 18-24. Data were collected as part of a larger mixed-methods study examining sexual health communication and behaviors. Participants were recruited via non-probabilistic sampling methods between June 2018 and December 2018. Eligible respondents completed a self-administered online study that examined, among other components, healthcare experiences and medical mistrust. Hierarchical linear regression was used to explore the relationship between patient-provider communication quality and medical mistrust. Patient-provider communication quality was a significant predictor of medical mistrust; as communication quality increased, medical mistrust decreased ( p .001). Educational attainment also emerged as a significant predictor. Relative to not completing any college, completing some college was associated with lower medical mistrust ( p = .031). Our findings suggest that for providers seeking to address medical mistrust in patients identifying as young Black women, focusing on patient-centered communication may be particularly impactful
