Racial and Ethnic Disparity in the Administration of General Anesthesia.

Anesth Crit Care

October 2024

Department of Translational Research, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona CA 91766, USA.

Healthcare disparities continue to affect communities in the United States that are racially and ethnically diverse, disabled, and economically disadvantaged, even though medical and technological advancements have made great strides in these areas. Disparities in health outcomes and difficulties obtaining care for both acute and chronic illnesses are more common among these populations when compared to the overall population. Disparities in anesthesia care delivery have been documented in multiple studies, and they are based on factors such as patients' racial/ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, ability to communicate in English, and accessibility to health insurance.

BMC Health Serv Res

January 2025

NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration, Centre for Primary Care & Health Services Research, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine & Health, The University of Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK.

Background: Cervical screening rates have fallen in recent years in the UK, representing a health inequity for some under-served groups. Self-sampling alternatives to cervical screening may be useful where certain barriers prohibit access to routine cervical screening. However, there is limited evidence on whether self-sampling methods address known barriers to cervical screening and subsequently increase uptake amongst under-screened groups.

Purpose: Despite recent advances, gender inequality remains a major concern within the workforce.
