A recent study (partly funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in low-income black neighborhoods were less likely to receive bystander-initiated CPR than those in high-income white neighborhoods.
Media reports:
Boston Globe: CPR less likely for minorities on street or home (25 OCT 12)
Science Codex: Study shows whites twice as likely as blacks to get CPR from bystanders (24 OCT 12)
