While much research has been conducted into physician supply in rural areas, very little is known about physician supply in areas with heavy populations of ethnic minorities. This study finds that in 1990 the number of physicians per thousand residents was lower than the national average in counties with predominantly black and Hispanic populations. For counties largely populated by Native Americans, the mean number of physicians was slightly higher than the national average.
虽然针对农村地区医生供应情况已开展了大量研究，但对于少数民族人口密集地区的医生供应情况却知之甚少。本研究发现，1990年，在以黑人和西班牙裔人口为主的县，每千名居民中的医生数量低于全国平均水平。对于以美洲原住民为主的县，医生平均数量略高于全国平均水平。
