This $176,143 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at West Virginia University Research Corporation examining how social networks influence delays in diagnosis of medical conditions with ambiguous symptoms and potential health disparities. Funded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year collaborative research project analyzes Medicaid and physician data to test hypotheses about whether marginalized patient groups experience longer diagnostic delays due to effects of racial and gender stereotypes in the diagnostic process. It also examines how network structures that encourage exposure to diverse medical perspectives and acceptance of diagnostic errors impact time to diagnosis. Findings aim to inform healthcare interventions to reduce diagnostic errors and related health disparities in the U.S. system. The grant period runs from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026.
