Abstract
Pregnant patients receiving prenatal care at a Midwestern academic institution were approached between June 2021 and March 2022 to complete a web-based Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire (PED-Q). The PED-Q is a validated 17-item scale measuring perceived interpersonal racial and ethnic discrimination through four domains: workspace/school domain, exclusion domain, stigma domain, and threat domain, with each domain containing questions rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from “never” to “very often”. All four domains were summarized in a lifetime discrimination score ranging from 1 to 5. The primary outcome was receipt of COVID-19 vaccination. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to examine the association between “lifetime discrimination score” and COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy or postpartum.
