Racial Biases Associated With Pulse Oximetry: Longitudinal Social Network Analysis of Social Media Advocacy Impact

However, the significant implications of this correlation on racial disparities in health care outcomes remained largely unexplored and unaddressed until a surge in social media discussions around racial issues in 2019-2020. While a limited number of studies have explored knowledge sharing and data in this field, Jamali et al [28] shed light on a critical issue underscoring the racial disparity in oxygen saturation measurements by pulse oximetry.

The Double-Edged Sword of Online Learning for Ethnoracial Differences in Adolescent Mental Health During Late Period of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States: National Survey

The Double-Edged Sword of Online Learning for Ethnoracial Differences in Adolescent Mental Health During Late Period of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States: National Survey

Ethnoracial disparities are, therefore, inequalities along ethnic and racial group lines. Despite disproportionate exposure to online learning during the pandemic, several studies report that adolescents from minoritized ethnoracial groups either have comparable [9-12] or better [13-18] mental health than their White counterparts. Such paradoxical findings indicating that minoritized groups at times fare better contradict popular theories [19], including the fundamental cause theory [20].

Examining Linguistic Differences in Electronic Health Records for Diverse Patients With Diabetes: Natural Language Processing Analysis

Subtle bias by health care clinicians is linked to negative outcomes for racial and ethnic minority patients, particularly Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic or Latino patients [5]. Health disparities between racial and ethnic groups have historically been attributed to varying levels of socioeconomic status, as well as genetic and biological factors that were thought to predispose groups to different medical conditions.

Lack of Diversity in Research on Females with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes: Recruitment Protocol for a Quantitative Online Survey

Lack of Diversity in Research on Females with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes: Recruitment Protocol for a Quantitative Online Survey

The overall prevalence and racial and ethnic breakdowns of EDS are unknown [2]. It is estimated that EDS affects between 1 in 5000 [3] and 1 in 3400 [4] and is thought to be underdiagnosed instead of rare [4,5]. Females are diagnosed at a much higher rate than males with 7 females diagnosed for every 3 males [4]. It is unknown if this is due to the difference in presentation between the 2 sexes or how the condition is passed to offspring [6].

#ProtectOurElders: Analysis of Tweets About Older Asian Americans and Anti-Asian Sentiments During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Racial discrimination is well known to be a key social determinant of health [6,10]. Among Asian Americans in the United States, experiences of discrimination are linked to poorer mental health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, hypertension, and elevated blood pressure [10]. Racism may exacerbate health issues brought about by the aging process, such as the onset of chronic diseases or functional impairment [11], rendering older Asian Americans more susceptible to detrimental health outcomes.
