Measuring Structural Racism: A Guide for Epidemiologists and Other Health Researchers

Paris B. Adkins-Jackson et al.

Summary: Over 100 years of literature have discussed the deleterious influence of racism on health, focusing on how racism acts as a driver of social determinants of health.

Systemic And Structural Racism: Definitions, Examples, Health Damages, And Approaches To Dismantling

Paula A. Braveman et al.

Summary: Racism can manifest in both conscious and unconscious ways, and it can be seen as both a systemic and structural issue. Systemic and structural racism is deeply embedded within systems, laws, policies, and practices that perpetuate unfair treatment and oppression of people of color, leading to negative health consequences. Addressing these forms of racism requires coordinated efforts across multiple sectors and locations, with the crucial first step being the recognition of their existence.

Where are the labor markets?: Examining the association between structural racism in labor markets and infant birth weight

Tongtan Chantarat et al.

Summary: Racist policies and practices negatively affect employment opportunities for Black workers compared to white workers, potentially leading to racial inequities in birth outcomes. This study found that structural racism in labor markets has a detrimental effect on low birthweight birth among US-born Southern Black pregnant individuals of working age, but not among their African- or Caribbean-born counterparts in any region of the United States. The analysis highlights the intersections of structural racism, culture, migration, and the history of racial oppression, which vary across regions and birth outcomes for Black workers.

The Historical Racial Regime and Racial Inequality in Poverty in the American South

Regina S. Baker

Summary: Building on existing research on racial regimes and the legacy of slavery, this study introduces a novel measure of the historical racial regime (HRR) and examines its impact on poverty and racial inequality in the American South. The findings suggest that a stronger historical racial regime exacerbates poverty among Black individuals and widens the racial gap in poverty, while its effect on poverty among White Southerners is not significant.

The Roots of Structural Racism in the United States and their Manifestations During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Peter Abraham et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial minorities, patients of lower socioeconomic status, and those lacking health insurance, highlighting existing structural inequalities. Structural racism, rooted in history and perpetuated through policies, has significant impacts on disparities in healthcare, housing, education, employment, and wealth. Naming structural racism as a key determinant of population health and implementing policy changes to promote more equitable access to radiologic services are essential steps in addressing these disparities.

Effects of US state preemption laws on infant mortality

Douglas A. Wolf et al.

Summary: Studies show that increasing the minimum wage above the federal level in a US state can reduce infant mortality rates. However, state preemption laws that remove local authority to raise the minimum wage are a significant threat to population health. The growing trend of these laws, particularly since 2010, may be contributing to troubling trends in US life expectancy.
