Mar. 12th, 2008 02:37 pmThe latest article based on our “subethnicity” surveys came out yesterday in Health Affairs (subscription only). Here’s the citation:
Robert J. Blendon, Tami Buhr, Elaine F. Cassidy, Debra J. Perez, Tara Sussman, John M. Benson, and Melissa J. Herrmann, “Disparities in Physician Care: Experiences and Perceptions of a Multi-Ethnic America.” Health Affairs, 27(2):507-517; March/April 2008.
The New York Times ran a story about it.
The contribution of this series of surveys and articles, for which we are funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is that it allows us to look separately at the responses of specific racial/ethnic groups that are often clumped together in larger designations like Hispanic, Asian, and African American. For instance, Japanese and Chinese Americans have very different experiences with and attitudes about the U.S. health care system, but the two groups tend to be lumped together as Asian Americans.
A few weeks ago, we did a survey and press release on Americans’ perceptions of and attitudes about “socialized medicine”. The study got picked up by Pravda! Maybe those folks haven’t lost interest in socialism after all.
