Summary
Multiracial patients consider provider race and gender when choosing healthcare, but face barriers. Increasing health workforce diversity and cultural sensitivity is crucial for equitable patient care.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Health Disparities
- Patient-Centered Care
Background:
- Existing research on patient-provider race concordance often overlooks multiracial individuals.
- The assumption of single-race identification in patients and providers limits understanding of diverse patient preferences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the healthcare provider preferences of multiracial patients.
- To understand the factors influencing multiracial individuals' choices in selecting healthcare providers.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study involving 15 interviews and 3 focus groups.
- Directed content analysis of participant-expressed preferences.
Main Results:
- Thirty-one multiracial participants shared their provider preferences.
- Key selection factors included proximity, convenience, insurance, provider gender, and race.
- Participants identified barriers to receiving care from preferred providers.
Conclusions:
- Multiracial individuals have specific preferences for healthcare providers influenced by various factors.
- Findings underscore the necessity of a more diverse healthcare workforce, particularly in primary care.
- Enhanced empathy and cultural sensitivity among healthcare professionals are vital for improving care for multiracial patients.
