“…Regrettably, the results of these efforts are modest. Disparities in health, educational and social services provision to different cultural groups are repeatedly documented in many countries (Ortega-Reig et al, 2023;Lee et al, 2023). Less documented, but prejudice, discrimination, and outright racist attitudes towards minorities and to anyone perceived as "the other" are also pervasive.…”

Present day educational and psycho-social services deal with broad cultural diversity. Educators and psycho-social professionals need to become culturally competent to be able to work with people from different cultural backgrounds including race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, etc. To be able to do so, it is important to cultivate cultural competence among these workers, the perquisites to which are the awareness and acceptance of differences between people as well as reflection upon their own attitudes and feelings. To create a profound and long-lasting effect of the training, creative and experiential teaching methods are often applied. This paper describes the use of children's books in academic training for cultural and context awareness and presents two training modules. The application of this methodology is demonstrated with university students in social work and with students in an Arabic-speaking teachers' college in Israel.

“…Several studies exploring the association of race and ethnicity with the utilization of labor epidural analgesia and the type of anesthesia for cesarean sections have been conducted. 10 Butwick et al 11 found that even after adjusting for age, insurance, type of pregnancy, prior cesarean delivery, induction of labor, and pregnancy-associated hypertensive disease, Black patients had a 90% greater odds of undergo general anesthesia for cesarean delivery (aOR, 1.90; 95% CI: 1.70-2.10; P = 0.02). Three large database studies also noted that Black patients were less likely to utilize labor epidural analgesia (aOR range: 0.49 to 0.79), [12][13][14] and were less likely to receive an epidural blood patch for treatment of a postdural puncture headache (aOR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67-0.94).…”

(JAMA. 2023;330(1):52–61. doi: 10.1001/jama.2023.9043) Although the US spends more per person on health care, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) has continued to increase in the past 2 decades, while other high-income countries have been able to decrease maternal mortality. The Global Burden of Disease has studied MMRs and has estimated about 4 deaths per 100,000 live births to 44 deaths per 100,000 live births in high-income countries in 2019. Further, in the non-Hispanic Black population and non-Hispanic White population, MMRs are 2 to 4 times higher. There is a paucity of data regarding state-level trends of maternal mortality in many states. This study provided estimates of MMRs by state to support the development of maternal mortality surveillance.

“…Modifications of this model can also be used to explain some negative outcomes associated with ethnicity in the study by O'Carroll et al. [7], and more generally in other work reporting disparities in outcomes in racial and ethnically marginalised groups [22].…”
