Abstract Research suggests that African Americans are less likely to utilise preventative care services than of European descent, and these patterns may contribute racial health disparities in the United States. Despite persistence inequalities utilisation, culturally relevant factors influencing use gateway have been understudied among marginalised groups. Using a stratified sample 205 low‐income American women, this research examines predictors receiving physical exam, with particular emphasis on how differing levels social support from friend family networks experiences discrimination cultural mistrust shape utilisation. The findings underscore importance traditional including insurance status having usual physician. However, they also indicate supportive ties friendship associated higher predicted rates an annual while sentiments lower Broadly, even as help‐seeking become relevant, it will be critical explore variations relationships across groups drive

Transgender people encounter interpersonal and structural barriers to healthcare access that contribute their postponement or avoidance of healthcare, which can lead poor physical mental health outcomes. Using the 2015 U.S. Survey, this study examined due anticipated discrimination among transgender adults aged 25 64 (N = 19,157). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted test whether gender identity/expression, socio-demographic, transgender-specific factors were associated with avoidance. Almost one-quarter sample (22.8%) avoided discrimination. men had increased odds (AOR 1.32, 95% CI 1.21-1.45) relative women.

Abstract Objective Eating disorders (EDs) were once conceptualized as primarily affecting affluent, White women, a misconception that informed research and practice for many years. Abundant evidence now discredits this stereotype, but it is unclear if prevailing “evidence‐based” treatments have been evaluated in samples representative of the diversity individuals affected by EDs. Our goal was to evaluate reporting, inclusion, analysis sociodemographic variables ED psychotherapeutic treatment randomized controlled trials (RCTs) US through 2020. Methods We conducted systematic review RCTs examined reporting inclusion gender identity, age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status (SES) enrolled participants, well recruitment methods, power analyses, discussion limitations generalizability. Results search yielded 58 studies meeting criteria dating back 1985. Reporting at times incomplete, absent, or centered on racial/gender majority group. No reported diverse men people color underrepresented generally, with differences noted across diagnoses. A minority papers considered analyses acknowledged related sample characteristics. Some progress made decades, increasingly providing full racial ethnic data, more included over time. Although improved somewhat, appeared stall last decade. Discussion summarize findings, consider context challenges RCT researchers, offer suggestions journal editors, reviewers improving representation, analytic practices. Public Significance Randomized eating disorder are race/ethnicity information SES inconsistent orientation absent. women still comprise overwhelming few color, no gender‐diverse individuals. Findings underscore need improve increase representation ensure evidence‐based effective within groups.

The gender paradox in mortality—where men die earlier than women despite having more socioeconomic resources—may be partly explained by men’s lower levels of preventive health care. Stereotypical notions masculinity reduce care; however, the relationship between masculinity, status (SES), and care is unknown. Using Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, authors conduct a population-based assessment beliefs care, including whether these relationships vary SES. results show that with strong are half as likely moderate to receive Furthermore, contrast well-established SES gradient health, do not benefit from higher education their probability obtaining decreases occupational status, wealth, and/or income increases.

Although there is no paucity of theoretical frameworks for explaining people’s health service utilization (HSU), designed to account variations in immigrants’ HSU remain underdeveloped. Building on influential theories or models and especially Andersen’s widely used behavior model, this article proposes a framework disparities immigrant HSU. The proposed explains by the care need, resources, predisposing factors immigrants, macrostructural/contextual conditions at both general immigrant-specific levels, as well mediating relationships among some these factors.
