Have you practiced any of these tips before? Did you know? 👉🏾 Black participants were more likely than White participants to experience preventable harm during their healthcare, specifically due to problems with how their care was organised or managed. This difference occurred even when other factors like age, health conditions, or other personal characteristics were taken into account. Being your advocate starts now! This was found in a 2021 study: https://lnkd.in/dQtGkvQ3 Caribbean & African Health Network (CAHN) #blackhealth #patients #ethnicpatients #PROBr #advocate #healthcare

Part 2 hearing Maria Lawal’s story 💜 Remember, going to your healthcare appointment, your clinicians are catering to you. They are giving YOU the service. Therefore, maximize your time as much as possible. Ask questions no matter how silly you think it may be. It is better to be reassured than confused. And clinicians, creating a safe space for your patients to speak freely helps with both party’s experience!
