Peer Review Study
This article provides an overview of the evidence linking the primary domains of racism — structural racism, cultural racism, and individual-level discrimination — to mental and physical health outcomes. For each mechanism, the authors describe key findings and identify priorities for future research. The authors also discuss evidence for interventions to reduce racism and describe research needed to advance knowledge in this area.

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.
