Abstract

Objective: To examine experiences of racial discrimination among black adults in the United states of america, which broadly contribute to their poor health outcomes.

Data source and study design: Data come up from a nationally representative, probability-based telephone survey including 802 non-Hispanic blackness and a comparison group of 902 non-Hispanic white The states adults, conducted January-April 2017.

Methods: We calculated the pct of blacks reporting bigotry in several domains, including health care. We used logistic regression to compare the black-white difference in odds of bigotry, and amid blacks only to examine variation by socioeconomic status, gender, and neighborhood racial composition.

Master findings: Virtually one-third of blacks (32 percent) reported experiencing discrimination in clinical encounters, while 22 pct avoided seeking health care for themselves or family members due to anticipated discrimination. A bulk of blackness adults reported experiencing bigotry in employment (57 percent in obtaining equal pay/promotions; 56 per centum in applying for jobs), law interactions (60 pct reported being stopped/unfairly treated past police), and hearing microaggressions (52 percent) and racial slurs (51 percent). In adapted models, blacks had significantly higher odds than whites of reporting discrimination in every domain. Among blacks, having a higher caste was associated with higher odds of experiencing overall institutional discrimination.

Conclusions: The extent of reported discrimination across several areas of life suggests a broad blueprint of discrimination confronting blacks in America, beyond isolated experiences. Black-white disparities exist on nearly all dimensions of experiences with public and private institutions, including wellness care and the police. Show of systemic discrimination suggests a demand for more than active institutional interventions to accost racism in policy and practice.

Keywords: African Americans; blackness Americans; discrimination; racial disparities in health and health care; racism; social determinants of health; survey research.
