Abstract

Historically, women–particularly those from minority ethnolinguistic communities (EC)–receive few benefits from national health expenditure increases. We investigated U.S. healthcare access at the intersection of sex and EC membership. We asked, are there differences between minority and majority EC members' healthcare access for women's medical issues (Q1) and mental health (Q2)?
