This 2006 survey of 4,157 randomly selected U.S. adults compared perceptions of health care disparities among fourteen racial and ethnic groups to those of whites. Findings suggest that many ethnic minority groups view their health care situations differently and, often, more negatively than whites. A substantial proportion perceived discrimination in receiving health care, and many felt that they would not receive the best care if they were sick. Most differences remained when socioeconomic characteristics were controlled for. The variety of responses across racial groups demonstrates the importance of examining ethnic subgroups separately rather than combined into a single category.
这项2006年对4157名随机抽取的美国成年人进行的调查，将14个种族和族裔群体对医疗保健差异的看法与白人进行了比较。研究结果表明，许多少数族裔群体对其医疗保健状况的看法不同，而且往往比白人更为负面。很大一部分人认为在接受医疗保健时受到了歧视，许多人觉得如果自己生病，就得不到最好的治疗。在控制了社会经济特征后，大多数差异仍然存在。不同种族群体的各种反应表明，分别研究种族亚群体而非将其合并为一个单一类别非常重要。
