Thank you @mclemoremr @RheaBoydMD @EdwinLindo @Lachelle_Dawn, there has a been a growing amount of research that uses the term "health inequities" without either knowing what it means or intentionally engaging it on its premise. 1/n
Equity is about need not mere difference. We could get "equality" for decades and never close the health and wealth gaps ethnoracially marginalized people face. Bravemen's ARPH 2006 piece laid this out really clearly. 2/n doi.org/10.1146/annure…
I think another term that falls into the geneticist trap is culture, particularly in the behavioral/social sciences. The approach we need to take is one of "cultural systems" (@CourtneyCogburn). The approach we take, however, blames the victim.
