Disparities In Health: Perspectives Of A Multi-Ethnic, Multi-Racial America

Robert J. Blendon, Tami Buhr, Elaine F. Cassidy, Debra J. Perez, Kelly A. Hunt, Channtal Fleischfresser, John M. Benson and Melissa J. Herrmann

This 2006 survey of 4,157 randomly selected U.S. adults compared perceptions of health care disparities among fourteen racial and ethnic groups to those of whites. Findings suggest that many ethnic minority groups view their health care situations differently and, often, more negatively than whites. A substantial proportion perceived discrimination in receiving health care, and many felt that they would not receive the best care if they were sick. Most differences remained when socioeconomic characteristics were controlled for. The variety of responses across racial groups demonstrates the importance of examining ethnic subgroups separately rather than combined into a single category.
