Albert, F. (2016): "Perceptions and experiences of racial disparities affecting Massachusetts Black residents' utilization of health care services". Doctoral Dissertation. ProQuest Publishing. Ann Arbor, MN.
This research used a qualitative phenomenological design methodology supported by the Critical Race Theory and Behavioral Use of Health Services. To be considered an expert in racial disparities and to understand why health disparities continue to be a persistent public health concern, research had to include historical racism, discrimination, and medical exploitation far beyond the now-infamous Tuskegee study. I also reported that consistent data revealed that structural, institutional, and perceived forms of racism experienced by communities of color had profound and detrimental implications in regard to their health outcomes.
