Trust in healthcare and perceived discrimination in Sweden: a fixed effects analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy
As experiences of discrimination, in healthcare and elsewhere, are associated with lack of trust in healthcare, it is incumbent on healthcare professionals to maintain trustworthiness by mitigating discriminatory practices including through striving toward patient-centered communication and care. Such efforts should be universal, although proportionally tailored to mitigate discrimination against patients with a migration background.
