Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the disparities in statin therapy for preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and explores how structural racism may contribute to these differences in treatment among various racial and ethnic groups.
- - Data analysis from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2014-2017) revealed that non-Hispanic Whites had the highest statin usage (58.5%), while usage was notably lower among Hispanics (45%) and Blacks (48.6%).
- - The findings indicate that while direct racial differences in statin usage are not significant when financial and care access factors are equalized, racial minorities still experience lower treatment levels compared to Whites, highlighting the role of inequitable resource distribution and structural racism in these disparities
