Abstract

Objective

Little is known about the scope and role of discriminatory experiences in dentistry. The purpose of this study is to document the experiences that American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Black, and Hispanic dentists have had with discrimination.

Methods

This study reports data from a 2012 nationally representative study of dentists documenting experiences with discrimination during their dental careers or during dental school by the setting of the discrimination, the providers' education, and geographic location. This study does not differentiate between levels of discrimination and focuses holisticly on the experience of any discrimination.

Results

Seventy-two percent of surveyed dentists reported any experience with discrimination in a dental setting. The experiences varied by race/ethnicity, with 49% of AI/AN, 86% Black, and 59% of Hispanic dentists reporting any discriminatory experiences. Racial/ethnic discrimination was reported two times greater than any other type.

Conclusions

Experiences with racial/ethnic discrimination are prevalent among AI/AN, Black, and Hispanic dentists, suggesting that as a profession work is needed to end discrimination and foster belonging.

美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民、黑人和西班牙裔牙医的歧视经历

目的对牙科歧视性经验的范围和作用了解甚少。本研究的目的是记录美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民(AI/AN)，黑人和西班牙裔牙医遭受歧视的经历。方法本研究报告了2012年一项全国代表性研究的数据，该研究记录了牙医在牙科职业生涯或牙科学校期间遭受歧视的经历，包括歧视的设置、提供者的教育程度和地理位置。这项研究没有区分歧视的程度，而是全面关注任何歧视的经历。结果72%的受访牙医报告了在牙科环境中受到歧视的经历。经历因种族/民族而异，49%的AI/AN, 86%的黑人和59%的西班牙裔牙医报告了任何歧视经历。据报道，种族/族裔歧视是其他类型歧视的两倍。种族/民族歧视的经历在AI/AN，黑人和西班牙裔牙医中普遍存在，这表明作为一种职业，需要结束歧视并培养归属感。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Dentistry is devoted to the advancement of public health dentistry through the exploration of related research, practice, and policy developments. Three main types of articles are published: original research articles that provide a significant contribution to knowledge in the breadth of dental public health, including oral epidemiology, dental health services, the behavioral sciences, and the public health practice areas of assessment, policy development, and assurance; methods articles that report the development and testing of new approaches to research design, data collection and analysis, or the delivery of public health services; and review articles that synthesize previous research in the discipline and provide guidance to others conducting research as well as to policy makers, managers, and other dental public health practitioners.
