Racism in Healthcare Experienced by American Indian and Alaska Native People
Objectives:
To investigate racism in the health care setting experienced by American Indian and Alaska Native people and its influence on health care engagement.
Methods:
Data were collected via self-report surveys administered in person at two community powwows in Denver, Colorado in 2021 and 2022.
Results:
Approximately one-third (29.8%) of American Indian and/or Alaska Native respondents reported having a health care visit where they felt uncomfortable due to their race. Of those, 51% were less likely to see a doctor in the future because of these experiences. Experiences were categorized as racial microaggressions and overt racism.
Conclusions:
American Indian and Alaska Native people experience racial microaggressions and overt racism during health care visits, leading to decreased likelihood of engaging with health care in the future.
