The representative survey of 2,200 people by the Migraine Trust found that 23% of mixed-ethnicity, 19% of Asian, and 16% of black respondents said their ethnicity had negatively affected their care citing poorer treatment and even racism compared with only 7% of white respondents. Black people were also more likely to fear discrimination or a negative effect on their career owing to migraines, at 37%, compared with just over a quarter (26%) of white respondents. Almost a fifth (19%) of Asian respondents and 14% of black respondents said they worried they would not be believed about their migraines, compared with 8% of white respondents.
