Peer Review Study
The article focuses on two key examples of structural racism in the health context for Asian Americans: poor-quality data infrastructure and biases on the part of researchers, healthcare providers, and the public health community, fueled by pervasive stereotypes about the Asian American community (that is, model minority, perpetual foreigner, and healthy immigrant). The authors provide recommendations on how to implement systems-level change and educational reform to infuse racial equity in future policy and practice for Asian American communities.

This study used a randomized controlled trial to determine whether physician-delivered prevention messages affect knowledge and information-seeking behavior of Black and Latinx individuals and whether this differs according to the race and ethnicity of the physician and tailored content. Participants viewed video messages regarding COVID-19 that varied by physician race and ethnicity, acknowledgment of racism and inequality, and community perceptions of mask wearing.

White Paper/Brief
This paper serves as a foundational look into how structural racism and social determinants of health impact communities of color — particularly Black and Latino communities — in Massachusetts. This document uses local Massachusetts and national data sources to examine multiple factors for health inequities among racial minorities within the state. The primer covers demographic profiles, social drivers of health, access to coverage and care, service utilization, health outcomes, and the disparate impact of COVID-19 with infographics across multiple areas of health.
