In response to recent calls to examine medical mistrust antecedents, the present study investigated the influence of negative healthcare (personal, vicarious interpersonal, vicarious media) and racial discrimination (personal, vicarious interpersonal, vicarious media) experiences on medical mistrust, and whether these relationships were mediated by perceived racism and perceived financial corruption in healthcare. Multigroup structural equation modeling was utilized to test the model using a cross-sectional survey of Black and White adults. Personal negative healthcare experiences and vicarious media racial discrimination experiences were directly related to medical mistrust for Black and White participants. Additionally, personal negative healthcare experiences exerted indirect effects through both perceived racism in healthcare and perceived financial corruption in healthcare. Vicarious media racial discrimination experiences exerted indirect effects through perceived financial corruption for both Black and White participants and through perceived racism for Black participants. Finally, both types of vicarious interpersonal experiences and racial discrimination experiences exerted indirect effects through perceived racism for White participants. The findings have implications for medical mistrust scholarship going forward. It is necessary to acknowledge the role vicarious experiences plays in medical mistrust antecedents, which may include recognizing the impact of news depictions of racial discrimination on patients’ behaviors. Additionally, there is a need to further investigate the role of perceived financial corruption in healthcare in medical mistrust.
