Hosted by the Minority Faculty SIG
Mistrust of the US Healthcare System has been a significant staple among under-represented and historically marginalized groups for many years. This mistrust stems from various historical events and is reinforced by health system issues and discriminatory events that continue today. The goal of this program is to discuss the factors that continue to feed mistrust among minority groups and ways to alleviate those barriers.
Objectives:
- To review the history of mistrust among various under-represented and marginalized groups in the US.
- To explore the impact of mistrust on utilization of current health care delivery programs and interventions.
- To identify strategies to mitigate mistrust when delivering future health care programs interventions (e.g., COVID vaccination, telehealth).
