Supplemental Materials for “Population Sociodemographic and Geographic Factors Associated with Dermatologist Distribution in the U.S.”

The relationship between dermatologist supply and racial and ethnic distribution of the U.S. population has been unclear. In this cross-sectional study, we found that among urban and suburban counties, greater racial and ethnic diversity is associated with higher dermatologist density. Therefore, the geographic distribution of dermatologists may not explain racial and ethnic disparities in access to care on the county level. This page includes the Supplemental Methods, Supplemental Figure 1, and Supplemental Table 1 for our study.

美国人口种族与民族分布与皮肤科医生供应之间的关系尚不明确。在本项横断面研究中，我们发现，在城市和郊县地区，种族和民族多样性越高，皮肤科医生的密度也越高。因此，皮肤科医生的地域分布可能无法解释县级行政区域内医疗服务获取中的种族和民族差异。本页面包含了我们研究中的补充方法、补充图1和补充表1。
