Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Health Disparities
  • Behavioral Economics

Background:

  • Existing research indicates racial biases within the American healthcare system.
  • There's a lack of systematic studies on patient racial bias in selecting medical providers.
  • Qualitative data suggests increased discrimination against marginalized groups, including Asians, during COVID-19.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the extent to which Americans exhibit racial discrimination when choosing doctors.
  • To systematically examine patient racial bias in medical treatment selection.
  • To assess if racial bias in doctor selection has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • A well-powered conjoint experiment was conducted.
  • A national sample of 1,498 Americans participated.
  • Participant preferences for doctors of varying racial backgrounds were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • On average, respondents did not demonstrate racial discrimination against Asian doctors or doctors from other minoritized groups.
  • No consistent evidence of differential treatment effects based on respondent demographics was found.
  • Participant race did not significantly influence their preference for a doctor's race.

Conclusions:

  • The study's findings suggest that Americans, in aggregate, do not racially discriminate when selecting doctors.
  • Patient racial bias in healthcare provider selection may be less prevalent than previously assumed.
  • This research has implications for understanding the boundaries and limitations of racial prejudice in the United States.
