Racism is the reason for large, sustained health inequities in the
United States.
The February 2022 issue of Health Affairs, "Racism & Health," contains a
comprehensive, scholarly look at the complex relationship between racism
and health and provides new evidence, analysis, and narratives on the
topic.
It is our hope that the issue will make a lasting contribution to the
field and enhance the national dialogue regarding the importance of
policies to address structural racism.
Panels of distinguished authors and experts will present their work and
engage in discussions on the historical context, evolving research
practices and policies, and the lived experience of populations whose
health has been harmed by individual and structural racism.

and conclusions. Health Affairs Director of Health Equity, Vabren Watts,
will host.
