Ethnic and socioeconomic disparities exist within healthcare. Specifically, minority group members experience more deleterious health outcomes than do majority group members. In this paper, we explore the factors that influence such variety, with a focus on the field of dermatology, in an attempt to understand the ways to improve minority group results. We also highlight how the prevalence of mental health issues within minority group and low socioeconomic status individuals can differentially influence dermatological disease states, such as the relationship between depression and psoriasis.
医疗保健领域存在种族和社会经济差异。具体而言，少数群体成员比多数群体成员经历更多有害的健康结果。在本文中，我们探讨影响这种差异的因素，重点关注皮肤科领域，试图了解改善少数群体结果的方法。我们还强调少数群体和社会经济地位较低个体中心理健康问题的患病率如何不同地影响皮肤病状态，如抑郁症与牛皮癣之间的关系。
