Key Points Question What are the reported associations of workplace exclusion and perceived discrimination with employee health behaviors and outcomes in a large academic health care institution? Findings In this qualitative study of 115 participants, most reported outcomes associated with perceived discrimination were emotional (87.8%). More than 1 in 10 narratives (12.2%) described a mental or physical health condition, including stress, depression and anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, changes in blood pressure, and changes in sleeping behaviors. Meaning These findings suggest that creating diverse and inclusive environments in which to work and learn can play a vital role in reducing harms associated with perceived discrimination and exclusion.
