Symptoms and care-seeking behavior in african-american

Reference no: EM13104549

The goal of a study by Klinger et al. was to determine how symptom recognition and perception influence clinical presentation as a function of race. They characterized symptoms and care-seeking behavior in African-American patients with chest pain seen in the Emergency Department. One of the presenting vital signs was systolic blood pressure. Among 157 African-American men, the mean systolic blood pressure was 146mm Hg with a standard deviation of 27. We wish to know if, on the basis of these data, we may conclude that the mean systolic blood pressure for a population of African-American men is greater than 140.
