Mediators of Discrimination in Primary Care Appointment Access.


ABSTRACT: We examine how differences in questions asked and information provided by physicians' offices contribute to differences in new-patient appointment offers. Data is from a 2013-16 field experiment involving calls to a random sample of US primary care physicians on behalf of simulated new patients differentiated by race/ethnicity (Black, Hispanic, White), sex, and insurance. We find that the rates and stated reasons for denial of appointment offers differ substantially across patient groups.
