What Role Does Race and Ethnicity Play in Gynecological Health Disparities?
Race and ethnicity are significant determinants of health disparities in gynecology. Studies have shown that minority women, particularly African American and Hispanic women, are less likely to receive timely and adequate care for conditions such as cervical cancer and uterine fibroids. These populations often experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality due to systemic biases and inequities in healthcare.
