Study reveals depths of racial, ethnic bias in health care

Season 2024 Episode 54 | 6m 24s

We’ve long known about racial and ethnic bias in health care, but now we’re getting some first-hand knowledge of how pervasive it is through interviews with health care workers in the largest study of its kind. William Brangham breaks down the study’s findings with one of its co-authors Dr. Laurie Zepheryn. It's part of our ongoing coverage of Race Matters.
