Key takeaway
Our children are less likely to get important medical scans in the ER if they have public insurance or are Black or Hispanic. This suggests our children might not be getting the same quality of care, even in hospitals with good pediatric services. We need to push for fair treatment for all our kids.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in respiratory helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
