Abstract
Experiences of discrimination and racial consciousness of 121 chronically ill adults were examined. Racial discrimination was related to less social support and worse healthcare experiences, conversely being more racially conscious was linked to higher health literacy, social support, and better healthcare experiences. Future studies should assess these associations longitudinally.
