Racism and Health: Evidence and Needed Research - Pallathadka, Laxmi Kirana; Pallathadka, Harikumar (Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities, 2022)
Recent years have seen a surge in scientific research examining the several ways in which racism may have a detrimental effect on health. This emphasis has been highlighted by the remarkable willpower of racial inequities in health, and observable data also suggests that social factors by themselves do not adequately explain racial oppressions in health and well-being. Racism is believed to be a primary cause of ill health outcomes for racial minorities and racial inequities in health. Racial bias towards black people, citizens, and people of color persist in the health care system. This results in significant harm to those who utilize and work in these environments. This research study provided an overview of institutional racism, cultural racism, individual-level prejudice, and its associated mental and physical health repercussions. We describe significant search is for and define significant problems for future investigation for each instrument. Additionally, we review the evidence for anti-racism interventions and highlight the research required to achieve more informed competency in a particular area.
