Hospital data may be more accurate than census data in estimating the ethnic composition of general practice populations
Hospital data may be more accurate than census data in estimating the ethnic composition of general practice populations
Practice ethnicity measured using hospital attendance data is in closer agreement with practice recording of self-reported ethnicity than the census attribution method. Census attribution may provide misleading information on the ethnic composition of practice populations. We recommend that healthcare commissioners change to this method of measurement when practice self-report data is not available

Abstract
Practice ethnicity measured using hospital attendance data is in closer agreement with practice recording of self-reported ethnicity than the census attribution method. Census attribution may provide misleading information on the ethnic composition of practice populations. We recommend that healthcare commissioners change to this method of measurement when practice self-report data is not available
