本研究旨在了解纽约南布朗克斯的黑人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔居民对健康结果中持续种族和民族差异的原因的看法。它特别关注生活在这个社区的人们如何看待卫生保健系统并与之互动。来自9个焦点小组的110名参与者的调查结果显示，人们对医疗保健系统存在深刻而普遍的不信任，感觉不受尊重，而患者在与医生沟通时遇到的困难加剧了这种不信任。本文建议卫生保健机构如何应对这些看法。
This study seeks to understand the perspective of Black and Hispanic/Latino residents of the South Bronx, New York, on the causes of persistent racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes. In particular, it focuses on how people who live in this community perceive and interact with the health care system. Findings from 9 focus groups with 110 participants revealed a deep and pervasive distrust of the health care system and a sense of being disrespected, exacerbated by difficulties that patients experience in communicating with their providers. The paper suggests how health care institutions might respond to these perceptions.
