Margaret Waltz and Jonathan S. Berg are co-authors, with colleagues, on a new article in Genetics in Medicine.
The researchers “investigated associations between GBMM [group-based medical mistrust]” and perceptions of a specialty care appointment. The study includes perspectives from caregivers of child patients and from providers. Findings “extend evidence for detrimental effects of GBMM on patient satisfaction.” The researchers also offer new evidence for “associations with healthcare providers’ perceptions of caregivers’ engagement with care.”
