There are significant racial and ethnic disparities in the incarcerated population in the USA, with individuals from racial and ethnic minoritized groups more likely to be incarcerated. There are also disparities in the health and health care received by different racial and ethnic groups in the USA. The information on the health care received by incarcerated individuals is lacking, including particularly limited data on hospitalization rates. This paper aims to identify potential racial and ethnic differences in hospital care provided to patients who are incarcerated. Differences in care during incarceration may worsen pre-existing disparities between racial and ethnic groups.
在美国，被监禁人口中存在显著的种族和族裔差异，来自少数族裔群体的个人更有可能被监禁。美国不同种族和族裔群体在健康状况及获得的医疗保健方面也存在差异。关于被监禁者所接受医疗保健的信息匮乏，尤其是住院率方面的数据极为有限。本文旨在确定为被监禁患者提供的医院护理中潜在的种族和族裔差异。监禁期间护理的差异可能会加剧种族和族裔群体之间原有的差异。
