Racism and Health

Policy Points Racism operates in conjunction with interlocking forms of oppression, so it must be addressed relationally. Racism catalyzes processes of cumulative disadvantage as it extends across multiple policy domains along the life course, so it necessitates multifaceted policy solutions. Racism is a function of power relations, so the redistribution of power is a necessary precursor to health equity
