Notes: OLS estimates of equation (4). The data are from the General Social Survey for the year 1998. The sample contains black and white males and females at least 10 years old in 1972. The outcome variable for column (1) is whether the respondent disagrees with the statement that doctors can be trusted. The outcome variable in column (2) is whether the respondent believes they will be denied needed treatment by the medical profession. The outcome variable in column (3) is general mistrust (whether people, in general, can be trusted). In addition to the controls listed above, every specification includes indicator variables for age categories, marital status, state of current residence fixed effects, and indicators for being black, male, and the interaction. Standard errors are clustered at the state of residence level.
