Measuring attitudes towards ethnic minority patients: the revalidated REMP-3 instrument for graduate healthcare practitioners.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Measuring intercultural attitudes can aid in understanding and addressing persistent inequities in healthcare. Instead of creating new instruments, several sources call for a more rigorous revalidation of existing instruments towards a more broad population. As an example of such an existing instrument, the EMP-3 (Ethnic Minority Patients) focuses on the attitudes of physicians towards ethnic minority patients.
