Addition of Lack of Medical Education in Regard to Race

I plan on adding more information to the care process source of racial disparity. The paragraph briefly mentions lack of race education for medical students, but there has been a host of recent research that can be included in order to solidify this and create a more in depth article.Cmetoyer (talk) 20:11, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Mistrust in the Healthcare System

Due to generations of inequity in the ways minorities in America have been treated in the healthcare system, there is widespread mistrust of healthcare providers among the minority population. One example of how healthcare created mistrust among a minority population is The U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee. This study, beginning in 1932, experimented on 399 black men with syphilis and 201 black men without syphilis, without informed consent of the participants. Researchers told participants that they were being treated for "bad blood" and in turn for participation, they received free meals, medical exams, and burial insurance. By 1942 penicillin was widely used to treat syphilis, however this treatment was not offered to the 399 participants with syphilis. In 1972 a story about the Tuskegee study was published by the Associated Press. Once the story was released, an Ad Hoc Advisory Panel was appointed to investigate this study and concluded that the study was ethically unjustified and suggested this study end in October 1972, leading to the end of the study in November. ^[1]

The withholding of treatment and deception of the participants of this study over a 40-year period led the mistrust of the American healthcare system in the black community. Scharff et al. (2010) investigated barriers to medical research participation among African American adults. 70 participants answered interview questions in a focus group format. Questions aimed to discover the barriers participants faced in medical research. Results of the study revealed that African Americans felt mistrust in the healthcare system, fear of research participation, and lack of information on research opportunities. Researchers of this study found mistrust to be a significant barrier. This mistrust has deep roots across all socioeconomic groups within the black community and has a historical foundation stemming directly or indirectly from the Tuskegee study. Participants in this study expressed a rational and emotional effect from historical deception of black individuals in medical research. Overall, the Tuskegee study and other historical events surrounding the medical field created mistrust in the black community of the American Healthcare system, causing disparities in the health of this community.

I don't understand this text--it's too meta for me. Is this a proposed change to the article? An addition? If so, it needs to be properly ascribed--I believe in the CDC but we cannot take their statements about broad general developments in America as just facts. Sentences like "Scharff et al. (2010) investigated barriers" need to be redone in Wikipedia's style, not like this was an upper-level research paper. Drmies (talk) 03:43, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Race in childbirth

This page was very informative and helpful. It has been found that racism could be the leading cause of high death rate among pregnant African American women, how can physicians create change to lower this high death rate? Comfort06 (talk) 04:34, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Comfort06
