About The Study: This cohort study found significant inequities in incidence of behavioral flags in the electronic health record among racially and socioeconomically marginalized pediatric patients. This finding was most pronounced for Black or African American patients younger than 8 years, suggesting that this phenomenon may be a response to Black families rather than specific patient behavior.
