WASHINGTON DC USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- JANUARY 28, 2022: You are invited to join Health Affairs on Tuesday, February 8, from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual symposium on the February 2022 issue of Health Affairs, "Racism & Health."
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.
On February 8, 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. A highlight of the event will be the reading of "Identity," an original poem by Sharon Attipoe-Dorcoo, which will be published in the issue.
