care (Fowler-Brown et al. 2006) in some studies. Perceived discrimination has also been associated with the failure to seek preventative services such as cholesterol testing, hemoglobin A1c testing and eye exams for diabetes and flu shots (Trivedi and Ayanian 2006) and the use of alternative care instead of conventional care (Bazargan et al. 2005). Several studies have also found an inverse association between discrimination and satisfaction with care among African Americans and Whites (Benkert et al. 2006; Fowler-Brown et al. 2006) and Korean Americans (Jang et al. 2005).
