Medical mistreatment by a healthcare professional likely reduces the chances of utilizing healthcare. Low-income communities and communities of color may experience more mistreatment by the medical system. It was also found that even infrequent experiences of mistreatment could have a large effect on vaccination uptake. Among high-risk, insured individuals, 45% of those who experienced mistreatment were vaccinated, compared to 62.2% who did not experience mistreatment.
