Discrimination in the United States: experiences of Asian Americans.
This study examined the prevalence of racial discrimination among Asian Americans and its impact on health outcomes. A nationally representative, probability-based telephone survey was conducted comparing 500 Asian and 902 white US adults from January to April 2017. Thirteen percent of Asians reported discrimination in healthcare encounters, and at least one in four experienced discrimination in employment, housing, and experienced microaggressions (35%) or racial slurs (32%). This resulted in Asians having higher odds than whites of reporting avoiding health care due to discrimination concerns.
