Study finds that blacks are more likely to survive childbirth with black doctors

Hard to believe this is where we are at. Next mass people will be afraid to go to white doctors

Black newborns are more likely to survive during childbirth when cared for by Black doctors, according to a new study.
In the United States, Black babies die at three times the rate of white newborns during their initial hospital stays, according to a peer-reviewed study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. But when Black doctors cared for Black babies, their mortality rate was cut in half.
While this data doesn't tell us exactly why this happens, a mix of structural issues could've contributed, and "each are really disturbing," said Brad Greenwood, study co-author and an associate professor of Information Systems & Operations Management Sciences at George Mason University.
Researchers analyzed 1.8 million hospital birth records in Florida from 1992 to 2015 and identified the race of the doctor. The study found the largest decrease in Black newborn mortality rate occurred in complex births and at hospitals that deliver more Black babies.
The race of the doctor caring for white babies did not make much difference to the likelihood of survival, and there was no statistically significant improvement in maternal mortality – which is also higher for Black women – when mothers were the same race as their doctor.

Study finds that whites are more likely to survive in places with less black people.

From what I keep being told about institutional racism there can’t be that many black doctors delivering babies in first place...

Germans. And there was a significant thread on here debunking it.
I’ll look and see if I can find it

Capitalizing “black” is fricking cringeworthy. Just stop.

I wonder if the study looks into the rate of prenatal visit attendance between black and white doctors.
A major issue with black infant mortality rates is the lack of prenatal compliance by the mother.

I’m guessing this is an infant mortality issue across the board.

No worries man. I just knew this had been discussed and the merits of the study in a pretty long thread and wanted to help anyone who wanted to read about it.

I just wish there was a country that endangered people of color in racist America could go to and be safe
Maybe it’s name would be based on the word liberty

That is exactly what they're trying to imply. What a disgusting crock of bullshite. Black women are responsible for the majority of black baby deaths due to high abortion rates. I know that's not being factored into the article but it's the truth. To even hint that white doctors are killing black babies is an abomination and completely repugnant hack job.
It's become a cliché, but the media is an enemy of this country.

Didn’t read (yet), but this seems like an example of Simpson’s Paradox, a statistical fallacy when comparing two groups of different sizes.
