- To use evidence on addressing racism in social care intervention research to create a framework for advancing health equity for all populations with marginalized social identities (e.g., race, gender, and sexual orientation).

We recommend how the Agency for…November 2023Social Environment, Racism
- Racial disparities in health are among the most disconcerting forms of inequity in the United States. Divergent health outcomes between Americans racialized as White and those racialized as Black, Latinx, and Indigenous do not stem from biological or genetic differences. To the contrary, “race” comes to have concrete consequences through social, economic, and political systems. Yet the political…October 2023Advocacy, Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Systemic Determinants, Healthy Housing, Racism

- Profound racial inequities were entrenched in crucial domains of American life long before COVID‐19. In the wake of the pandemic, these preexisting disparities deepened. Housing offers an arresting example. In 2019, just before the onset of the pandemic, 46% of renter households were paying more than 30% of their income toward rent, and nearly a quarter were spending more than half their income…April 2023Racism
- The COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide racial justice movement over the past several years have heightened the focus on health disparities and their underlying causes and contributed to the increased prioritization of health equity.

Although growing efforts have focused…April 2023Social/Structural Determinants, Racism
- Racial residential segregation is considered a fundamental cause of racial health disparities, with housing discrimination as a critical driver of residential segregation.

- Health inequity is real, and it can be seen in statistics that show there are more than 74,000 excess deaths among Black people compared with white people each year in the 30 largest American cities. This includes the home of the AMA’s headquarters, Chicago, where racial inequities in mortality rates result in an average of 3,804 excess deaths among Black people a year compared to white people,…February 2023Services & Programs, Racism

- Over the past 50 years, 16 states, the District of Columbia, and 106 local governments have passed laws that prohibit landlords from discriminating against tenants who receive housing choice vouchers. These laws generally outlaw discrimination based on the tenant’s “source of income,” whether that source is a job, a pension, alimony, or government assistance. Using a new Urban Institute dataset…October 2022Housing Discrimination, Racism
- Structural racism causes stark health inequities and operates at every level of society, including the academic and governmental entities that support health research and practice. We argue that health research institutions must invest in research that actively disrupts racial hierarchies, with leadership from racially marginalized communities and scholars.We highlight synergies between…August 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Racism
- The United States signed the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (“ICERD” or “Convention”) in 1966. President Lyndon Johnson’s administration noted at the time that the United States “has not always measured up to its constitutional heritage of equality for all” but that it was “on the march” toward compliance.[1] The United States finally ratified…August 2022Racism

- On February 26, 2012, a Black child, Trayvon Martin, was executed in Sanford, Florida. Seventeen months later his killer was found not guilty. This is but one example of the state’s brazen disregard for Black life, rooted in the kidnapping and enslavement of Africans more than 400 years ago, and the ways in which they and their descendants were systematically tortured. Trayvon Martin’s murder…June 2022Social/Structural Determinants, Isms and Phobias, Racism

- U.S. media has extensively covered racial disparities in COVID-19 infections and deaths, which may ironically reduce public concern about COVID-19. In two preregistered studies (conducted in the fall of 2020), we examined whether perceptions of COVID-19 racial disparities predict White U.S. residents’ attitudes toward COVID-19. Utilizing a correlational design (N = 498), we found that those who…March 2022COVID-19/Coronavirus, Racism
