Mashup Score: 0How Hospitals Are Addressing The Effects Of Racism: A Mixed-Methods Study Of Hospital Equity Officers - 5 month(s) ago
Hospital equity officers have become critical leaders in the effort to address the determinants of health care disparities, including structural racism. In this mixed-methods study, we surveyed a national sample of equity officers and interviewed a subset of respondents to provide additional perspective. About one-half of survey respondents reported at least some obstacles to achieving their health equity objectives, including racist beliefs among people working in their hospitals and health care systems, policies that perpetuate racism, and a lack of staff diversity. To address these challenges, some hospitals are collecting information about instances of racism, reviewing clinical algorithms for evidence of bias, or forming community partnerships. However, in interviews, equity officers pointed out that racism is a public health issue that cannot be adequately addressed solely within the health care system. Given the relative newness of most hospital equity officer positions, our res

Mashup Score: 0Intergenerational Transmission of Depression: Examining the Roles of Racism and Trauma Among Black Mothers and Youth - 6 month(s) ago
Racism is a multifaceted system of oppression that disproportionately harms Black mothers and children across the lifespan. Despite reliable evidence that racism is associated with worse mental health outcomes (eg, increased depressive symptoms), less is known about potential intergenerational effects of Black mothers’ experiences of racism on children’s mental health, as well as how traumatic experiences influence these pathways. In this cross-sectional quantitative study, we aimed (1) to replicate the finding that maternal experiences of racism are associated with both maternal and child depression; (2) to identify whether maternal experiences of racism are indirectly associated with child depression via the effect of maternal depression; and (3) to test whether the indirect effect of racism on child depression via maternal depression is conditioned on maternal trauma.
