To What Extent Are Parents and Children Exposed to Bias and Unfair Treatment in Health Care?

This study assesses unfair treatment in health care settings among parents and their children under age 19. We examine unfair treatment in health care settings related to race, ethnicity, country of origin, and primary language for both parents and children. For parents, we also assess unfair treatment related to additional characteristics (insurance coverage type, weight, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, income, and disability or health condition), consequences of unfair treatment, and concerns that they or family members will be treated unfairly in health care settings in the future.
