We know little about how race and ethnicity influences medication use despite substantial research showing that, for most health care services, minority beneficiaries use fewer services compared with
white persons (Gornick, 1999, 2000, 2003; Gornick et al., 1996; Gornick, Eggers, and Riley, 2001; Murray, 2000).
