The role of racial and socioeconomic status bias on medication prescribing practices: a qualitative study of family physician perspectives
Understanding the influence of bias from physicians' perspective might help improve prescription practices for patients with chronic diseases and make care more equitable or fair for racialized people, people with lower SES, and individuals at the intersection of these social locations. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, such as increased diversity in medical practice, to promote more equitable prescribing practices and improve patient care.
