Institutional Racism neighborhood factors stress and preterm birth
Ethnicity & Health, 2014Co-Authors: Dara D Mendez, Vijaya K Hogan, Jennifer F CulhaneAbstract:Objective. Racial/ethnic disparities in the risk of preterm birth may be explained by various factors, and previous studies are limited in examining the role of Institutional Racism. This study focused on the following questions: what is the association between preterm birth and Institutional Racism as measured by residential racial segregation (geographic separation by race) and redlining (black–white disparity in mortgage loan denial); and what is the association between preterm birth and reported stress, discrimination, and neighborhood quality.Design. We used data from a clinic-based sample of pregnant women (n = 3462) participating in a stress and pregnancy study conducted from 1999 to 2004 in Philadelphia, PA (USA). We linked data from the 2000 US Census and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data from 1999 to 2004 and developed measures of residential redlining and segregation.Results. Among the entire population, there was an increased risk for preterm birth among women who were older, unmarried,...

Institutional Racism and pregnancy health using home mortgage disclosure act data to develop an index for mortgage discrimination at the community level
Public Health Reports, 2011Co-Authors: Dara D Mendez, Vijaya K Hogan, Jennifer F CulhaneAbstract:The evidence of Institutional Racism may contribute to our understanding of health disparities. Residential redlining and mortgage discrimination against communities may be a major factor influencing neighborhood structure, composition, development, and wealth attainment. This residential redlining index as a measure for Institutional Racism can be applied in health research to understand the unique social and neighborhood contexts that contribute to health inequities.

the state of research on racial ethnic discrimination in the receipt of health care
American Journal of Public Health, 2012Co-Authors: Vickie L Shavers, Pebbles Fagan, Dionne Jones, William M P Klein, Josephine E A Boyington, Carmen Moten, Edward RorieAbstract:Objectives. We conducted a review to examine current literature on the effects of interpersonal and Institutional Racism and discrimination occurring within health care settings on the health care received by racial/ethnic minority patients.Methods. We searched the PsychNet, PubMed, and Scopus databases for articles on US populations published between January 1, 2008 and November 1, 2011. We used various combinations of the following search terms: discrimination, perceived discrimination, race, ethnicity, Racism, Institutional Racism, stereotype, prejudice or bias, and health or health care. Fifty-eight articles were reviewed.Results. Patient perception of discriminatory treatment and implicit provider biases were the most frequently examined topics in health care settings. Few studies examined the overall prevalence of racial/ethnic discrimination and none examined temporal trends. In general, measures used were insufficient for examining the impact of interpersonal discrimination or Institutional Racism...

stress and the mental health of populations of color advancing our understanding of race related stressors
Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 2018Co-Authors: David R WilliamsAbstract:This article provides an overview of research on race-related stressors that can affect the mental health of socially disadvantaged racial and ethnic populations. It begins by reviewing the research on self-reported discrimination and mental health. Although discrimination is the most studied aspect of Racism, Racism can also affect mental health through structural/Institutional mechanisms and Racism that is deeply embedded in the larger culture. Key priorities for research include more systematic attention to stress proliferation processes due to Institutional Racism, the assessment of stressful experiences linked to natural or manmade environmental crises, documenting and understanding the health effects of hostility against immigrants and people of color, cataloguing and quantifying protective resources, and enhancing our understanding of the complex association between physical and mental health.

addressing urban health in detroit new york city and seattle through community based participatory research partnerships
American Journal of Public Health, 2003Co-Authors: Marilyn Metzler, Donna L Higgins, Carolyn Beeker, Nicholas Freudenberg, Paula M Lantz, Kirsten Senturia, Alison Eisinger, Edna A Viruellfuentes, Bookda Gheisar, Ann Gel PalermoAbstract:Objective. This study describes key activities integral to the development of 3 community-based participatroy research (CBPR) partnerships. Methods. We compared findings from individual case studies conducted at 3 urban research centers (URCs) to identify crosscutting adaptations of a CBPR approach in the first 4 years of the partnerships' development. Results. Activities critical in partnership development include sharing decision-making, defining principles of collaboration, establishing research priorities, and securing funding. Intermediate outcomes were sustained CBPR partnerships, trust within the partnerships, public health research programs, and increased capacity to conduct CBPR. Challenges included the time needed for meaningful collaboration, concerns regarding sustainable funding, and issues related to Institutional Racism. Conclusions. The URC experiences suggest that CBPR can be successfully implemented in diverse settings.
