- Autism research has a race problem. Despite improvements in screening and diagnosis, autism continues to be underdiagnosed in Black and Hispanic children, and those who obtain a diagnosis often have limited access to support services. Racial disparities persist during the transition to adulthood, with autistic adults from racial and ethnic minority groups experiencing a number of challenges,…December 2020Mental/Behavioral Health
- There is a profound lesson in the coincident timing of the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic: in each case, support for the most oppressed or most ill amongst us portends support for ourselves. We are humbled to concede that if we do not respect everyone, we do not respect anyone, just as if we don't prevent, treat, and cure disease everywhere, we don't do so anywhere. Our…October 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, Social/Structural Determinants
- Physicians still lack consensus on the meaning of race. When the Journal took up the topic in 2003 with a debate about the role of race in medicine, one side argued that racial and ethnic categories reflected underlying population genetics and could be clinically useful. Others held that any small benefit was outweighed by potential harms that arose from the long, rotten history of racism in…August 2020Illness/Disease/Injury/Wellbeing, Racism

Aug 9, International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, is a chance to look at the continuing effects of territorial removal, the destruction of people, culture, and languages, and the lack…August 2020Policy & Law, Social/Structural Determinants
- Maternal morbidity and mortality (MMM) is a significant problem in the USA, with about 700 maternal deaths every year and an estimated 50,000 "near misses." Disparities in MMM by race are marked; black women are disproportionately affected. We use Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to examine the root causes of racial disparities in MMM at the individual (microsystem), interpersonal…July 2020Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Medicaid, Racism
- The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related policies have led to an unequal distribution of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. For Black women and birthing people, endemic vulnerabilities and disparities may exacerbate deleterious COVID-19 impacts. Historical and ongoing macro-level policies and forces over time have induced disproportionately higher rates of maternal morbidity and…July 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal/Child Health, Social/Structural Determinants, Isms and Phobias

- The coronavirus (COVID-19) is a massive threat to the safety of U.S. workers. Black, Indigenous, and other workers of color are particularly vulnerable, as they are overrepresented in jobs with high exposure rates, and structural racism has led to disproportionate rates of COVID-19 infection and death.COVID-19 will likely lead to a prolonged period of economic disparity and unemployment. This…January 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, Social/Structural Determinants
- Today’s public health challenges are complex, with many biological, environmental, and social contributors. One of the most intractable public health issues is the racial/ethnic disparity in health outcomes. To address racial/ethnic disparities in health outcomes, it is important to have a racially and ethnically diverse workforce that is capable of addressing such public health issues. Given its…November 2019Environment/Context
