Racism in Health Care Can Impact Treatment Decisions: Study
Clip: 2/19/2022 | 7m 14sVideo has Closed Captions
We look into a new survey focused on racism in health care.
A new study finds Black patients often have a different medical experience than white patients due to discrimination and inequities in health care settings. And 59% said racism caused them to stop or interrupt their treatment, whether that meant changing health care providers, not making a follow-up appointment, or delaying making a health decision.
