“…..The theme issue aims to highlight the need for and state of empirical research on racial/ethnic discrimination and its association with the health and health care received by racial/ethnic minority populations.

 

The issue's themed section opens with an article that reviews current measures, research approaches, data resources, and results of research on race/ethnicity-based health care discrimination.

 

This theme issue illustrates the state of the field, describes current methodology, identifies research gaps and suggests areas that should be considered for future research.
