| description | Quality care in healthcare is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the execution of effective medical treatments and the patient’s overall experience. It involves a multitude of factors, including effectiveness, safety, timeliness, equity, and patient centeredness, which are important in shaping the healthcare landscape. This cross-sectional study used the data from the Health Information National Trends Survey 6 (HINTS 6), which collects data on various aspects of health communication and information-seeking behaviors, to investigate the factors associated with quality care among White and Hispanic populations. All adults who participated in HINTS 6 and visited healthcare service at least once in the past 12 months were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association between quality care and delay or discriminated care with the adjustment of all other sociodemographic variables. We analyzed a total of 3611 participants. Poor social determinants of health (SDOHs) (OR 0.61, CI 0.43–0.88, <i>p</i> = 0.008), delayed needed medical care (OR 0.34, CI 0.26–0.43, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and discriminated care (OR 0.29, CI 0.15–0.54, <i>p</i> < 0.001) were all negatively associated with optimal quality care. Negative SDOHs could also be positively associated with delayed care and discriminated care. |
