Perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking physician’s care in Sweden: an intersectional analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA)
AIHDA disclosed complex intersectional inequalities in the average risk of refraining from seeking physician's care. This risk was rather high in some strata, which is relevant from an individual perspective. However, from a population perspective, the low DA of the intersectional strata suggests that potential interventions to reduce such inequalities should be universal but tailored to the specific contextual characteristics of the strata. Discrimination impairs access to healthcare.
