Changes in Perceptions of Discrimination in Health Care in California, 2003 to 2017.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Research in the early 2000s in California demonstrated that racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and those with limited English proficiency (LEP) experienced high rates of discrimination in health care. Less is known about how patients' perceptions of discrimination in health care have changed since then.

Objective

To determine whether perceptions of discrimination in health care have changed overall and for specific vulnerable populations.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study used data from the California Health Interview Survey for state residents aged 18 years and older for 2 periods, 2003 to 2005 and 2015 to 2017. χ2 analyses and multivariate logistic regression were performed to compare recent discrimination in health care
