Health Care Stereotype Threat: The Danger and Damage of Stigma and Discrimination in Health Care.

The author discusses a study by Manning and colleagues, published in the issue on health care stereotype threat which is a measure of anticipated stigma and discrimination in health care settings. Topics include extant research about sexual and gender minority people, finding by Manning and colleagues on health care stereotype threat among non-Hispanic Black participants, and approaches that explore interlocking systems of power that minoritize individuals along multiple axes of identity.
