Race-based health care: A comparative study of the use of race-based diagnostics in Europe

It is vital for healthcare practitioners, researchers and policymakers to consider diversity in their work. The inclusion paradigm encompasses gender, migration status, sex, religion, language, education, sexuality, ethnicity and race. The EU-funded RaceCareEurope project will focus on race-based health diagnostics – techniques, tools and calculations in which different actions are included for different ‘racial’ groups. Specifically, the project will compare the recent introduction and use of race-based health diagnostics in general practice in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The findings will shed light on the impact of race-based health technologies in daily general practice and how these affect society and patients on an individual level.
