Abstract
- The article reports on a study conducted to compare two skin or race color categories and examine its influence in relation to health status, health care service utilization and discrimination in the health services in Brazil. The results show a tendency among Brazilians to classify their skin color in shades closer to the center of the color gradient. The study shows that the differences of the two classifications of race or skin color are small.
