Typologies of mental healthcare discrimination experiences and associations with current provider care ratings: A latent class analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Discrimination is experienced across demographic attributes (e.g., race and gender) and vantage points (e.g., personal and vicarious), yet few studies have classified these different experiences of discrimination within healthcare systems. Moreover, which discriminatory experiences have greater influence on patient-reported quality outcomes remains poorly understood.

Methods

We surveyed a nationally
