Impact of discrimination on trust in U.S. health care in 2023
As of August 2023, around a quarter of U.S. adults who had not experienced discrimination indicated that they trust health providers almost all the time to do what is right for them and their community. On the other hand, only ten percent of U.S. adults who had experienced unfair treatment or disrespect in a health care provider setting indicated the same. In general, Americans who had experienced discrimination were less likely to trust doctors or other health care providers to do what is right for them and their community.
