She has been in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cincinnati since September, 2000. Dr. Malat's research focuses mainly on how race affects health care experiences. Past research examined racial differences in patient ratings of doctors. This work examined theoretical issues associated with measurement of racial differences in patient ratings as well as empirical assessment of factors that mediate the racial difference in ratings. Current projects include: assessment of the relationship between perceptions of health care discrimination and African American preference for black doctors, examination of whites' and African Americans' attitudes toward working with different-race doctors, evaluation of doctors' and nurses' perceptions of how race affects patient care, and assessment of patients' perceptions of physician cultural competence. Dr. Malat has received funding for past and present projects from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality as well as intramural sources. Dr. Malat's research has appeared in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Social Science & Medicine, and Ethnicity & Disease, as well as other journals.
