We've sent a reading list of the #structuralracism articles @pbaJackson, @tysonbrown, @rolandjthorpe, & @RRHDr mentioned during their panel out to attendees of the @minnpop/@CARHEumn #ImprovingMeasurement #Barnraising!

It's an amazing list, so we're also sharing here!🧵1/

Each panelist referred to @CamaraJones's (2000) foundational "Gardener's Tale" piece in their working definitions #structuralracism.

This celebrated article is a must-read for everyone engaged in #publichealth & #healthequity. @AMJPublicHealth 2/ ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.210…

Panelists also cited the more recent @zinzinator et al (2017) article "Structural racism and health inequities in the USA: evidence and interventions" for their working definitions of #structuralracism. @TheLancet 3/ thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Defining #structuralracism just the beginning. @pbaJackson et al (2021) examine challenges & methodological paths forward in "Measuring Structural Racism: A guide for epidemiologists and other health researchers." @AmJEpi 4/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34564723/

A great example of measuring #structuralracism in action is Krieger et al (2017) "Jim Crow and estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer: US-born black and white non-Hispanic women, 1992-2012." 5/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27988896/

A nuanced multi-dimensional measure of #structuralracism is featured in @bertchantarat et al (2021) "The intricacy of structural racism measurement: A pilot development of a latent-class multidimensional measure." @eClinicalMed 6/ thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

As the field moves forward, high-quality databases of #structuralracism will be critical, eg @MadinaAgenor et al (2021) "Developing a Database of Structural Racism–Related State Laws for Health Equity Research and Practice in the United States." 7/ journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

When it comes to valid measures of #structuralracism, @RRHDr et al, including @tysonbrown, (2022) explained "we have run out of time" in their article in the special #RacismAndHealth Feb issue of @Health_Affairs. 8/ healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl…

As we fight for more & better research on #structuralracism, it is vital to name & combat #healthequitytourism. The @ElleLettMDPhD et al (2022) piece on the topic is a must-read for the current era in #publichealth. 9/ link-springer-com.ezp3.lib.umn.edu/article/10.100…

And that's the end of the scholarly reading list! We can't recommend them enough, they are must-reads for understanding #structuralracism and #publichealth! 10/

Final resource specifically re #healthequitytourism:

@klts0 developed the @TheConstelProj, a beautiful tool for visualizing collab networks for #publichealth. Currently in Beta, it can show a researcher's #structuralracism cred thru their Constellation of publications. 11/

Thank you again to everyone who attended the @minnpop/@CARHEumn #ImprovingMeasurement #Barnraising in-person & virtually.

Our team was nourished & inspired by the community of changemakers from this event & the work you all do. 12/12
