HLT-205 Trust factor HLT-205 Trust factor Trust Factor It has been apparent that trust among ethnic/minority groups is an issue in healthcare. For the past several decades, members of the healthcare field and researchers have been working to examine ethnic/minority groups distrust in the healthcare system. The traumatic past and widespread documentation of the unequal treatment of ethnic/minority groups is a major reason for distrust of organizations including healthcare. It is also widely documented that ethnic/minority groups have received unequal treatment by healthcare providers and that health research often excludes ethnic/minority groups from their research projects. Because they have not been part of the research, ethnic/minority groups feel that the findings may not benefit them as they would the white population. Anne Baeir is quoted in Chapter two, page 42 of the Cultural Proficiency in Addressing Health Disparities reading saying, “Once the stronger have abused the trust of the weaker, the burden of truth is on them [the stronger] to patiently demonstrate their goodwill, to attempt to show new trustworthiness, should they thereafter want to recover anyones trust.†Examples of ethnic/minority groups not receiving equal care include events as recent as the tragic lack of support and care for minorities during Hurricane Katrina. The research conducted for the Syphilis study in Tuskegee, Alabama is an example of unequal treatment and research on minorities.
