Most respondents were not at all or a bit familiar with research on racial inequalities in psychiatric care (N=190 of 370, 51%), and approximately one-third of respondents were moderately familiar (N=136 of 370, 37%), and only 12% were familiar or very familiar (N=44 of 370). Compared with their respective comparison groups, respondents were more likely to be familiar or very familiar with this research if they were nonwhite ( χ2 =6.9, df=2, p=.03) or if they treated a greater proportion of patients from minority groups ( χ2 =6.9, df=2, p=.03). Those who attended more professional meetings annually also reported greater familiarity ( χ2 =18.0, df=6, p=.006). Familiarity was not associated with the physician’s gender, practice setting, or years in practice.
