This article presents an overview of research on health care use and provider behavior, on doctor-patient relationships, adherence to medical regimens, self-care, practices and avoidance health care behaviors, and attitudes of 4 ethnoracial groups: African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Latinos. Although issues within the groups varied, common themes between the groups emerged. It became apparent, after discussion, that whatever the issues and health problems, these can be resolved most effectively when addressed within the social contexts of each ethnoracial group.
本文概述了针对非裔美国人、美洲印第安人、亚裔美国人及拉丁裔这4个种族群体在医疗保健使用与医疗服务提供者行为、医患关系、医疗方案依从性、自我保健、就医行为及回避行为以及态度方面的研究。尽管各群体内部的问题存在差异，但群体间也出现了共同主题。经过讨论后发现，无论存在何种问题和健康状况，在每个种族群体的社会背景下解决这些问题最为有效。
