Health Care Experiences Among Black Adults

This study looks into how Black adults feel about their health care. We want to know how they decide to go to the doctor or get check-ups. Some may feel ignored, not heard, or confused by medical advice, which can affect their willingness to see a doctor or follow advice. By talking with you, we aim to understand what challenges you face in health care and how these affect your health decisions. Our goal is to learn from your experience so that doctors and communities can make preventive care better and more trustworthy for everyone.
