Abstract: Access to quality healthcare is an important topic that has, thankfully, gained significant traction in the peer-reviewed research space over the last decade or so. However, very little work has been carried out within our field of sexual medicine to evaluate the impact of race and ethnicity on patient evaluation and treatment-related outcomes. The authors identified more than 5.5 million male veterans who accessed care through the VA network over the timeframe of their analysis, including 17,600 who had a diagnosis of PD. 70%, 15%, and 6% of patients were white, Black, and Hispanic, respectively. The PD prevalence rate for the entire group was 0.3%, which was lower than anticipated when comparing results from other studies using similar methodologies. Previous work has shown that more equitable access to care through the VA system may mitigate other known racial/ethnicity risk factors. Despite the significant limitations as acknowledged by the study authors, this is an important contribution to the literature. It begins to shed light on the relationships between race/ethnicity and access to care in this purportedly more equitable care access model. Future work should focus on evaluating these types of outcomes in other care models both in the US and internationally in the context of race, ethnicity, and other demographic variables that may contribute to differences in care access and treatment-related outcomes.
