据报告，少数民族人口密度较低地区的少数民族健康状况较差。根据这一文献，居住在族裔密度较低的社区的少数族裔的求医行为率预计会较高。如果在族裔密度较低的地区，寻求保健的人数没有增加，一个可能的解释可能是，居住在这些社区的少数族裔由于害怕种族歧视而没有获得服务。本研究采用两项具有全国代表性的调查，从英格兰这一假设。寻求健康的行为没有不同的种族密度。较低的种族密度与服务预期歧视的报告增加有关，但也与对服务的满意度提高有关。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The health of ethnic minority people is reported to be poorer in areas of lower ethnic density. Based on this literature, higher rates of health seeking behaviours would be expected among ethnic minorities resident in neighbourhoods of lower ethnic density. Should health seeking not increase in areas of lower ethnic density, a possible explanation might be that ethnic minority people resident in these neighbourhoods are not accessing services for fear of racial discrimination. The present study examined this hypothesis using two nationally-representative surveys from England. Health seeking behaviour did not vary by ethnic density. Lower ethnic density was associated with increased reports of expected discrimination from services, but also with increased satisfaction with services. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
