Perceived Discrimination in Health Care Settings and Care Delays in Patients With Diabetes and Hypertension
These findings suggest that higher PDHS is positively associated with delaying health care due to nervousness about seeing a health care professional. The largest mediation proportion observed was among younger adults and racial and ethnic minority groups. By prioritizing better PCC, health care delays associated with patient apprehension related to perceived discrimination may be reduced.
