The goal of this analysis was to review the contemporary peer-reviewed public health literature from 2002-2015 to determine whether the concept of institutionalized racism was named (ie, explicitly…April 2018Systemic Determinants, Racism
- Health disparities exact a devastating toll upon Indigenous people in the United States. However, there has been scant research investment to develop strategies to address these inequities in Indigenous health. We present a case for increased health promotion, prevention, and treatment research with Indigenous populations. providing context to the recent NIH investment in the Intervention…November 2017Illness/Disease/Injury/Wellbeing, Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Environmental/Community Health
- When comparing suicide in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) population to that in the non-Indigenous populations of Australia, there are significant differences in the rates of suicide and the age groups at risk of suicide.

- The U.S. and the state of Colorado are more racially diverse than ever. Thirty years from now, it’s expected that fewer than half of Americans will be white, according to Manuel Pastor, PhD, director of the program for environmental and regional equity at the University of Southern California, citing census data. What’s driving this change isn’t immigration but births; people of color are younger…August 2017Classism, Racism

- Idealized versions of health care are common, and access to health care is often viewed as an unambiguous good. In the social determinants of health literature, for example, access to health care is treated as an intermediate determinant of health. This conceals a simplistic inference: the better your access to health care, the better your health. The reality is more complex: a modern industrial…January 2017Services & Programs, Social/Structural Determinants, Historical Trauma, Systemic Determinants
- Background: Structural violence shapes the health of Indigenous peoples globally, and is deeply embedded in history, individual and institutional racism, and inequitable social policies and practices. Many Indigenous communities have flourished, however, the impact of colonialism continues to have profound health effects for Indigenous peoples in Canada and internationally. Despite increasing…October 2016Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Services & Programs
- Health care providers have long struggled with the utility of race in the prescribing and dosing of medications. It is widely accepted that self-identified race often correlates with geographical ancestry, that geographical ancestry is a major determinant of genomic variation, and that genomic variation can influence reactions to drugs. The challenge for clinicians, however, is that self-…May 2016Illness/Disease/Injury/Wellbeing
- In the late 1970s and 1980s, the concept of cross-cultural medicine emerged from recognition and advocacy surrounding cultural and linguistic barriers to health care. In the early 1990s, increased emphasis on health care disparities expanded the focus of cultural competency programs and trainings beyond immigrant populations and interpersonal aspects of cross-cultural health care. New focal areas…March 2016Policy and Practice
