classification into 'groups'. Socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity definitions give rise to measurement issues that should be taken into account by researchers on health gaps. Ethnicity/race related measurement strategies include self-identification, genetic markers and third-party assignment.

Another consideration in socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity measurement… Continue Reading...

The play was a success then but many critics now posit that it does not accurately portray how the… Continue Reading...

prejudice and discrimination towards people based on their ethnicity and color. Discrimination is the treatment of people in an unfair manner based on their characteristics such as sexual orientation, age, race and gender.

was done to the model to consider their glycemic control previously, use of insulin, ethnicity/race, age and the test done again after incorporating autonomy support, diabetes distress and the interplay between autonomy support and distress (Leeet al, 2018).
