Heart of America Annual Survey
Preface: Bending the Arc Toward Health Equity and Justice by Gail C. Christopher Those in the field of social justice and health equity advocacy say, as popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., ?the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.? After decades of work in the field of health equity, the arc is clearly bending, but slowly. Racial inequities remain a feature of the U.S. health care landscape 20 years after the for…
Multilevel interventions to undo the health consequences of racism
The United States is experiencing a resurgence of overt expressions of racism, xenophobia, and other forms of intolerance. These forces have clear deleterious consequences for the health and well-being of many populations of color but also harm Whites. Leadership is necessary to challenge racism operating at structural, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized levels, and interventions should be applied simultaneously and in coordination. O…
Race in North America
This sweeping work traces the idea of race for more than three centuries to show that 'race' is not a product of science but a cultural invention that has been used variously and opportunistically since the eighteenth century. Updated throughout, the fourth edition of this renowned text includes a compelling new chapter on the health impacts of the racial worldview, as well as a thoroughly rewritten chapter that explores the election of Barack Ob…
Psychology, public policy, and advocacy
This article offers a historical perspective on the contributions of the field of psychology and the American Psychological Association (APA) to the public policy arena. It traces APA's involvement from a 1956 Council of Representatives resolution on the application of psychology to inform public policy to current advocacy initiatives related to psychological science, practice, and education in the public interest. Attention is directed to APA's …

Conceptual and Methodological Challenges for Health Disparities Research and Their Policy Implications
This special issue of the Journal of Social Issues contributes to a growing body of research that illuminates the mechanisms through which racism and discrimination influence the health status of people of color. Importantly, this special issue attempts to connect research examining how racism operates at the interpersonal, internalized, institutional, and structural levels, and points to a number of policy strategies to mitigate the racism–healt…
The Lived Experience of Race and Its Health Consequences
A growing body of research illuminates the mechanisms through which racism and discrimination influence the health status of people of color. Much of the focus of this research, however, has been on individually mediated racism (i.e., acts of discrimination and racial bias committed by White individuals against people of color). Yet research literature provides numerous examples of how racism operates not just at individual levels, but also at in…
Commentary to Special Issue on Health Discrepancies
Policy makers are increasingly attending to the problem of racial and ethnic health disparities, but much of this focus has been on evidence of inequality in health care systems. This attention is important and laudable, but eliminating inequality in the health care system would be insufficient to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities and improve the health of all Americans. Social and economic factors, such as disadvantaged socioeconomic statu…
Race as biology is fiction, racism as a social problem is real
Racialized science seeks to explain human population differences in health, intelligence, education, and wealth as the consequence of immutable, biologically based differences between "racial" groups. Recent advances in the sequencing of the human genome and in an understanding of biological correlates of behavior have fueled racialized science, despite evidence that racial groups are not genetically discrete, reliably measured, or scientifically…
