Collection Racial Inequity in Health – Part 1
This two-part Collection demonstrates that disparities are caused by structural racism and without tailored action the inequalities are maintained and reinforced. By highlighting these issues, we provide practitioners and policy makers with the power to create better, trusted, and fairer healthcare systems for all.
This first part of the Collection highlights relevant research on socioeconomic deprivation, pregnancy outcomes, hepatocellular carcinoma, communicable diseases, and much more.
