Social concordance and patient reported experiences in countries with different gender equality: a multinational survey

CONCLUSION: Consultations in which both patient and GP are female are associated with higher ratings of communication and involvement in decision making, irrespective of the GEI of the countries concerned. Age concordance was associated with all PREMs except communication. Although effect sizes are small, social concordance could create a suggestion of shared identity, diminish professional uncertainty and changes communication patterns, thereby enhancing health care outcomes.PMID:38521895 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02339-y
