Abstract:

Socioeconomic position appears to be the more powerful determinant of primary health care use in the United States. Acting through the agents of poorer housing and nutrition, lower educational and economic opportunity, and greater environmental risks, both lower socioeconomic position and minority race/ethnicity are associated with poorer health and shortened survival. Socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in the process and delivery of health care contribute to these disparities in health outcomes.

being a member of a minority racial/ethnic group appears to be a risk factor for less intensive, if not lower quality, care. Elderly blacks, compared with whites, are seen less often by specialists, receive less appropriate preventive care including mammography and influenza vaccinations, lower-quality hospital care, and fewer expensive, technological procedures. In general, blacks receive less intensive hospital care, including fewer cardiovascular procedures, lung resections for cancer, kidney and bone marrow transplants, cesarean sections, peripheral vascular procedures, and orthopedic procedures. They have also been reported to receive less aggressive treatment of prostate cancer, fewer antiretrovirals for human immunodeficiency virus infection, antidepressants for depression, tympanostomy tubes, and admissions for chest pain, and lower-quality prenatal care.
