Ethnic notions and healthy paranoias: understanding of the context of experience and interpretations of healthcare encounters among older Black women.
Article in Ethnicity & health, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo report the first-hand perspectives of older Black women within healthcare encounters that impact the trajectories of health-seeking behavior; to examine their perceptions, expectations, and beliefs about the role of cultural difference within predominantly White (US) healthcare settings; and to explore how sharing personal experiences (theirs and others') as a fund of knowledge influences ethnic notions. This research is aimed at the development of community resource partnerships and effective healthcare service delivery with intervention and promotion efforts targeting older Black women.
designEthnographic data collected over a 24-month period (2003-2005) from 50 older Black women in Tucson, AZ, USA are discussed on three levels: (1) expectations and beliefs; (2) the use of ethnic notions in the form of healthy paranoias as part of individual and communal health advocacy; and (3) perceptions of interethnic communication within healthcare settings, including feeling uncared for by healthcare providers and support staff.
resultsDisparities in older Black women's health and well-being are often constructed and filtered through 'non-clinical' influences, such as cultural differences, individual experiences, and beliefs about 'race' or 'being' a Black female.
conclusionsUnfamiliarity with ethnic notions may cause misinterpretations and misunderstandings and may influence interactions between older Black women and healthcare providers.
