Social Determinants of Access to Healthcare Services by Race/Ethnicity in a Southeastern Metropolitan Area
This study analyzes racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare access in a southeastern metropolitan area. Significant differences emerged in cultural beliefs, healthcare navigation, provider trust, insurance affordability, transportation, and health literacy, though not in service availability or proximity. Findings support the need for population-specific interventions to address these critical access barriers.
