Disparate health outcomes and unequal access to care have long plagued many communities in the United States. Individual demographic characteristics, such as geography, income, education, and race, have been identified as critical factors when seeking to address inequitable health outcomes. To provide the best care possible, obstetrician-gynecologists should be keenly aware of the existence of and contributors to health inequities and be engaged in the work needed to eliminate racial and ethnic health inequities. Obstetrician-gynecologists should improve their understanding of the etiologies of health inequities by participating in lifelong learning to understand the roles clinician bias and personally mediated, systemic, and structural racism play in creating and perpetuating adverse health outcomes and health care experiences.

ACOG 委员会声明第 10 号：妇产科中的种族和民族不平等。


不同的健康结果和不平等的医疗服务长期以来一直困扰着美国许多社区。在寻求解决不公平的健康结果时，个人人口特征，例如地理、收入、教育和种族，已被确定为关键因素。为了提供尽可能最好的护理，妇产科医生应该敏锐地意识到健康不平等的存在和造成的因素，并从事消除种族和民族健康不平等所需的工作。妇产科医生应通过参与终身学习来提高对健康不平等病因的理解，以了解临床医生偏见和个人介导的系统性和结构性种族主义在造成和延续不良健康结果和医疗保健体验中所发挥的作用。
