PURPOSE: To examine young adults' perspectives on healthcare workforce diversity, representation, language, and trust, and consider their relevance to orthopedic communication and workforce development.
METHODS: We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional online survey of 100 U.S. adults aged 18-25 years using an 18-item questionnaire with multiple-choice, multiple-response, and open-ended items. Descriptive statistics and exploratory subgroup comparisons were performed.
RESULTS: Eighty-nine percent of respondents rated healthcare-workforce diversity as at least somewhat important, and 91% believed it improves health outcomes to some extent. Language was the most frequently selected aspect of diversity affecting care (78%), and 95% reported that language barriers negatively affect care to some degree. Medical expertise (84%), communication ability (77%), and respect/empathy (72%) were the most commonly selected drivers of trust; 82% reported greater comfort with a clinician who shared aspects of their background or experience. Eighty-three percent perceived barriers affecting underrepresented groups entering healthcare careers.
CONCLUSIONS: Young adults valued communication, cultural understanding, and representation while prioritizing clinical expertise. These findings identify potential questions for orthopedic language-access and mentorship initiatives; applicability to orthopedic patients and trainees requires direct study.
