Hicks et al unpack the tenets of clinical care in the US through the lens of the physician-patient relationship. They compared participants with eye problems that reported being White and not Hispanic with the rest of the study population. Their research team determined that this historically excluded population of individuals identified in the dataset as Black, Hispanic, or other race were less likely to report “always” being treated with respect and more likely to be “always” asked about their opinions or beliefs about their medical care of treatment. I support the authors’ conclusion that these data may lead us along the path to health equity, but how?

参与式科学——健康公平之路

Hicks 等人通过医患关系的视角解读了美国临床护理的原则。他们将患有眼部问题的参与者与其他研究人群进行了比较，这些参与者自称是白人而非西班牙裔。他们的研究小组确定，在数据集中被识别为黑人、西班牙裔或其他种族的这一历史上被排除在外的人群不太可能报告“总是”受到尊重，更有可能“总是”被问及他们的意见或信念他们的医疗护理。我支持作者的结论，即这些数据可能会引导我们走上健康公平的道路，但如何？
