Summary

Everyday discrimination may influence when and how people seek care. In a national cross-sectional study of U.S. adults, experiences of discrimination were associated with differences in healthcare utilization including screening activities. The findings highlight an important pathway through which experiences of oppression may contribute to delayed diagnosis and disparities in diagnostic outcomes.
