Description
Friends, we’re so excited to have the brilliant Dr. Brian Skotko and Dr. Noemi Spinazzi back on the show today! They’re here to tell us about a big research project they worked on involving patients with Down syndrome who identify as Black as well as parents of patients who primarily speak Spanish. This work included conducting surveys of parents and primary care physicians from across the country over the last two years. Its primary goal was to identify the barriers for families looking to access adequate care that shouldn’t only be found at specialty Down syndrome clinics in large cities. We chat about structural racism in medical care, striving for cultural humility, some of the surprises they found in their research, and so much more. They share some valuable resources for those without access to a Down syndrome clinic and how we can all strive to be champions for the Down syndrome community. Thank you to Dr. Skotko and Dr. Spinazzi for their continued work in making sure everyone in the Down syndrome community has access to quality health care.
