I would say GP's last sentence should be read : > if black parents are less likely to (trust a white doctor and ask questions) So if the doctor were white the parents would ask less questions than with a black doctor. Hence asking fewer questions would increase mortality. On the face of it this seems to make sense. If people don't see a doctor for what are unknown (to them) and possibly dangerous conditions, the babies wouldn't get help.
