Racism is deeply ingrained in a number of U.S. social systems and institutions, where, studies show, it takes a toll on the health of Black individuals. SciLine’s next media briefing will focus on health effects and disparities resulting from: racism within the U.S. health care system, the racial segregation of neighborhoods, and racism-related chronic stress. A panel of scientific experts will summarize the state of research and take your questions.
