Introduction This research paper will be based on race and ethnicity. This paper will go further in depth to discuss how race and ethnicity impact the quality of healthcare received by individuals of particular race and ethnicity. The study will also seek to determine what some of the factors influence the difference in the quality of health care received by different racial and ethnic groups. This study also aims to test the hypothesis that the quality of healthcare received by individuals is influenced by racial and ethnic discrimination by healthcare professionals. Methodology For this research paper, secondary online resources were used to address how race and ethnicity impact the quality of healthcare. health care received by individuals. These secondary sources of information included four online research articles from journals and one online book. All of these sources were found using the Alma Jordan Library and UWI St. Augustine online databases and written by highly qualified authors, therefore making them highly credible sources. The UWI database was helpful in that it provided a direct source for articles based on the topic of race and ethnicity that could be used for this research paper. However, it was time-consuming to wade through so many articles to narrow the focus of the broad topic of race and ethnicity to the research topic of how race and ethnicity impact the quality of health care individuals receive of particular race and ethnicity. . However, information based on Trinidad or the broader Caribbean regarding the relationship between healthcare and race and ethnicity was found using the online database, but rather sources based on North American society… halfway through the paper… . ity that individuals are restricted from health services based on their race and ethnicity which, as suggested by Kronenfeld (2011), is not necessarily driven by biology but is based on artificial constructs. Many factors contribute to this disparity such as discrimination and whether or not these individuals are in the racial or ethnic majority or minority. Some recommendations to curb this disparity, as suggested by Kronenfeld (2011), are as follows: (1) Increased health education. (2) Accessibility to alternative medicine modalities. (3) Increased education for health professionals on different lifestyles. (4) More and better health coverage where racial and ethnic minorities reside. (5) Disaggregated data to highlight hidden health inequalities. (6) Greater need to evaluate the patients' health beliefs when developing a treatment plan/intervention(7 ) More funding for hospice care.
