Dimensions of racial identity and perceived discrimination in health care.
Drawing from the scholarship on multidimensionality of race, this study examined the relationships between perceived discrimination in health care and two dimensions of racial identity: self-identified race/ethnicity and perceived attributed race/ethnicity (respondents' perceptions of how they are racially classified by others). The investigators used Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data collected in 2004-2013 for their analysis.

Factors associated with retention among non-perinatally HIV-infected youth in the HIV research network.
The researchers evaluated the clinical and demographic characteristics of non-perinatally HIV (nPHIV)-infected youth associated with retention in care 1 year after initiating care and in the 2 years thereafter. They concluded that patients who were Hispanic, were men who have sex with men, or were seen at pediatric clinics were more likely to be retained in care.

Racial variation in the uptake of oncotype DX testing for early-stage breast cancer.
Oncotype DX (ODX) has the potential to improve quality of care; however, if not equally accessible across racial groups, disparities in cancer care quality may persist or worsen. The researchers examined racial disparities in ODX testing uptake. They did not find racial disparities in ODX testing for node-negative patients for whom ODX testing is guideline recommended and widely covered by insurers.
