Jessica P. Cerdena et al.

Summary: This article investigates the nature of mentions of Black/African American race in UpToDate (R). The findings suggest that UpToDate (R) articles often inappropriately link Black race to genetics or clinical phenotype without considering socio-structural variables or the health effects of structural racism. UpToDate (R) articles may also promote unequal treatment by recommending race-based clinical practices, risking exacerbating racialized health inequities.
