This amounts to more than 4,100 primary care HPSAs in rural areas. A 2018 report by Pew Research Center found that the…February 2022Interventions, Services & Programs, Social/Structural Determinants, Access

- Systemic and structural racism: Definitions, examples, health damages, and approaches to dismantlingRacism is not always conscious, explicit, or readily visible—often it is systemic and structural. Systemic and structural racism are forms of racism that are pervasively and deeply embedded in systems, laws, written or unwritten policies, and entrenched practices and beliefs that produce, condone, and perpetuate widespread unfair treatment and oppression of people of color, with adverse health…February 2022Policy and Practice, Systemic Determinants, Racism
- Despite remarkable progress, tobacco control efforts are not equitably distributed, and tobacco-related disparities continue to contribute to significant health disparities. Our premise in this commentary is that Intersectionality can serve as a productive analytical framework for examining tobacco-related disparities across and within multiple marginalized populations. Intersectionality is a…February 2022Environment/Context
