Perceptions of Discrimination and Unfair Judgment While Seeking Health Care: Findings from September 2021 Coronavirus Tracking Survey
more...less...
Authors, Dulce Gonzalez, Laura Skopec, Marla McDaniel, and Genevieve M. Kenney, March 2021
Inequities in health insurance coverage and access to care are well established. The mechanisms behind these inequities are complex and include interpersonal experiences of unfair treatment while seeking care, institutional
barriers within health systems, and structural barriers in non–health care domains that
contribute to socioeconomic disadvantage. Research shows that people are often
discriminated against or treated unfairly in health care settings because of disabilities,
gender identity or sexual orientation, and race or ethnicity.
