Public health researchers and practitioners have long known that racism harms health. Indeed, hundreds of cities, counties and states have declared racism a public health crisis.
Our just-launched website, Racism Harms Health, compiles research data culled from more than 250 studies across the spectrum of American life—from workplaces and policing to education and housing—showing exactly how racism harms health.
It makes the evidence clear and easily accessible to public health practitioners, policymakers, students, researchers, and anyone interested in an equitable, healthy society.
