Exploring skin color and black-white differences in trust in physicians in a cross-sectional study of U.S. adults.

CONCLUSION: Aggregating trust items and relying on only self-reported race may produce false conclusions about a lack of racial differences. Skin color is associated with complex concerns about physicians withholding treatment, which may reduce shared decision-making and treatment adherence. Skin color should be tracked to better capture health care experiences and population health. PMID: 30777382 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
