Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Research on factors affecting attitudes toward health care has focused mainly on blacks and how personal and historical experiences of unfair treatment affect attitudes toward health care and doctors. While most current research focuses narrowly on factors within health care, the health care system is not a cultural vacuum. This paper seeks to fill some of the gaps in knowledge about black and white patients’ perceptions of race in the medical encounter, specifically attitudes about working with different race versus same race doctors. We use telephone survey data to assess 1) attitudes about doctor race among whites and Blacks; and 2) how race-related attitudes and experiences within and outside of health care affect these attitudes. Attitude toward doctor race was measured by reported comfort with same versus different race doctors, and how well same versus different race doctors understand the respondent’s health. Overall, we find that experiences of unfair past treatment in health care and perceptions of white apathy or hostility toward blacks in the community predicts greater positive attitude toward same race doctors among blacks. Among whites, only negative general racial attitudes predict more positive attitude toward same race doctors. These results suggest that researchers include experiences and attitudes both within and outside health care when examining how race influences patients’ approach to health care.
