Abstract
Introduction/Objective: By 2020, 12 million people in the United States age 65 and older will need long term care according to the Health Insurance Association of America, and approximately 2 out of every 5 people in the United States will need to be placed in a nursing home in their lifetime (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, AHRC).

Thus, we examined the association between physicians' ethnicity and attitudes towards institutionalizing a patient or a parent.
