Many autoimmune disorders disproportionately impact Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American women. Currently there are few studies and limited information on how patients of color experience fatigue, including how their clinical relationships differ from white patients. The Autoimmune Association is seeking to help define this gap to identify common themes that will lead to more positive outcomes and greater patient support.
