A systematic review of race/ethnicity and parental treatment decision-making.
Researchers examined patient race/ethnicity as it affects health care utilization, provider trust, and treatment choice in pediatric care. Pooled results from their systematic review showed (1) racial/ethnic minorities tended to prefer more aggressive end-of-life care; (2) familial tradition of neonatal circumcision influenced the decision to circumcise; and (3) non-Hispanic Whites were less likely to pursue human papillomavirus vaccination but more likely to complete the vaccine series if initiated. They recommended further investigation.
