In her article
“Disparities in the provision of medical care: an outcome in search of an
explanation,” author Elizabeth A. Klonoff explores the reasons for the
differences in health care among different ethnic groups. The authors develop
and support this assertion by providing many statistics and examples of
differences in areas such as pain regulation, and cancer treatment. Her purpose
is to open the reader’s eyes to the segregation and discrimination among
African Americans in health care in order to encourage a change in the systems,
and help doctors treat all patients better and equally to improve the quality
of life of this minority group. The intended audience is African Americans as
well as doctors and lawmakers, and the intended audience is understood based on
subject matter.
