Patient perspectives on routinely being asked about their race and ethnicity: Qualitative study in primary care.
To understand patients' perspectives on responding to a question about their race and ethnicity in a primary care setting. ⋯ Patients attending a primary care clinic were not uncomfortable responding to a question about race and ethnicity.
