Black babies more likely to survive when cared for by black doctors – US study

This is probably related to black mothers receiving systemically worse maternity care.

Interesting study, but I feel there are more social factors that play into this and need to be studied. I have 2 kids and I can't imagine raising them without 2 parents in the household. The infant mortality rate seems very correlated to having a 2 parent household (see link for data of 2 parent households by race). Now the black doctor vs. white doctor for a black baby mortality is very interesting and it would be interesting to know if it's actually a bias by the white doctors or if black parents are less likely to trust a white doctor and ask questions (or something along those lines).

This may be related to training. A dearth of information on what symptoms look like on skin that's not pink to start with. A black doctor will at least have their own skin as educator and reference.
