Our data, however, do not support the mediating role of solidarity. Additionally, we find that among individuals who were not using DCT, discrimination experiences were negatively associated with people\u2019s willingness to participate in DCT in the future. This relationship was mediated by concerns that the government might use DCT against one\u2019s ethnic group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experiences of ethnic discrimination can decrease the effectiveness of health policies including respondent-driven tools like DCT, as their support depends strongly on the trust in government.
