Question 4 • Ethnic Studies Edge IC

What challenge related to healthcare access and representation do many Black people face in the US?

Answer
A
a majority of Black communities prefer traditional medicine over modern health care
B
there are too many medical facilities located in Black communities, which contributes to confusion
C
there is an overrepresentation of Black physicians in the healthcare system
D
a small percentage of active physicians are Black, contributing to mistrust and communication barriers

Explanation

Only a small share of active physicians in the US are Black, so many Black patients may have difficulty finding a provider who shares or understands their experiences. This lack of representation can contribute to mistrust and communication barriers. Choice D describes this challenge; the other choices do not.
