- Abstract
This Special Issue of I Health Services Research i on discrimination in America was conducted in the midst of a national debate on the extent of discrimination in the lives of Americans,[[1]] from the perspectives of six under-represented groups in public opinion research on discrimination: nationally representative samples of blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, women, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) adults. Within health care and beyond it, systemic change is needed to reduce and eliminate discrimination, because it carries such severe economic, social, and health consequences. Further change and research are needed to protect the civil and human rights of minority and marginalized populations, as well as to reduce health disparities and improve their health. 8 Williams DR, Lawrence JA, Davis BA, Vu C.
