I'm @RRHDr, a #healthequity researcher & the Founding Director of @CARHEumn. My work seeks to manifest racial justice & liberation by making the invisible visible. This means that I start from the premise that racism is a fundamental cause of health inequity. #HardemanTakeover
Today I'm taking over @ia4phs to talk about #structuralracism and health from methodological innovation for measuring racism to its manifestations in our society from abortion access to policing. Structural racism as a #populationhealth crisis. #HardemanTakeover
Structural racism is a public health crisis, but it's also a FIXABLE problem!

Earlier this year @CARHEumn & @minnpop hosted an event on the measurement of structural racism. A product of that event was this 🔥 reading list. #HardemanTakeover
Each article in that list is truly 🔥, must-reads for scholars engaged in #healthequity & #antiracism research.

The TL;DR: Racism, not race, is a fundamental cause of health. So if we want to improve #populationhealth, we need to dismantle #structuralracism. #HardemanTakeover
This Feb my coauthors @pa_homan, @bertchantarat, @badavis_, @tysonbrown & I published an article on improving measurement of #structuralracism in @Health_Affairs. We quote James Baldwin, “How much time do you want for your progress?” #HardemanTakeover healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl…
We believe that we have run out of time. There is an urgency to address racism. #HardemanTakeover healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl…
We can't change what we don't measure, which is why rigorous measurement of #structuralracism is an urgent issue. In our @Health_Affairs article we outline theory + methods, and I want to highlight rigorous work being done by the rising generation of scholars. #HardemanTakeover
Specifically for measuring #structuralracism in #epidemiology, @pbaJackson, @bertchantarat, @zinzinator & @NinezPonce published an article in @AmJEpi as a guide for researchers. #HardemanTakeover academic.oup.com/aje/article/19…
This year @bertchantarat published an article w @dcvanriper & me using multidimensional measures of #structuralracism to predict birth outcomes in Minnesota. Since racism is multidimensional, solutions need to be multidimensional too. #HardemanTakeover onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…
Last year I, @bertchantarat, @MLukeSmith, @BeahboutIT, @dcvanriper & @DrDaraDMendez published an article in @JAMANetworkOpen on aggressive policing, a form of #structuralracism & poor birth health, esp for US-born Black birthing people. #HardemanTakeover jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
Look out for an article #SooninAJPH by @ProfAlang, @rahwaghaile, me & @AimtoSwerve on how police brutality harms the health of racialized woman thru #structuralracism & #structuralsexism over the lifecourse. #HardemanTakeover @AMJPublicHealth
Also #SooninAJPH is an article by me, @hing_anna & @ReproResearcher on measuring #structuralracism thru the lens of anti-abortion policy.

Abortion is health care, so we can't achieve #healthequity w/o abortion. #HardemanTakeover @AMJPublicHealth
We need to take #structuralracism seriously across the lifecourse, as explained by @GilbertGee6, @hing_anna et al in @AMJPublicHealth. #HardemanTakeover ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.21…
I will always, always repeat this: Structural racism is a public health crisis, and it is a FIXABLE problem!

Racism is a FIXABLE problem, and the #antiracism solutions to achieve racial #healthequity are fueled by love. #HardemanTakeover
Last month @BeahboutIT, I, Numi Katz, Dimpho Orionzi & @katybkoz published an article I'm incredibly proud of, "From A Place of Love." We describe the love-fueled care model of @RootsBirthMpls & how their #antiracism advances maternal #healthequity. digitalscholarship.unlv.edu/jhdrp/vol15/is…
If you are as passionate about measuring, confronting, & dismantling #structuralracism as I am, sign up for the #IAPHS pre-conference workshop hosted by me, @BeahboutIT & @hing_anna! It's in person Sep 20th from 1-5pm. #HardemanTakeover iaphs.org/tools-for-succ…
Be sure to attend @bertchantarat's & Alexandria Kristensen-Cabrera's #IAPHS "Structural Factors" conference sessions on #structuralracism and health, happening on Sep 22nd at 3:15-4:30pm. #HardemanTakeover iaphs.org/wp-content/upl…
Structural racism is a public health crisis, and it is also a FIXABLE problem!

Follow @ia4phs, me at @RRHDr, my center at @CARHEumn, & all the scholars mentioned in this thread to stay connected to people involved in the #antiracism solutions! #HardemanTakeover

1/n Before I begin today, I’d like to invite us all to mourn the #COVID19 Deaths. 233,792 Globally. 63,019 in the U.S. There are names and faces attached to these unsettling statistics and our shared humanity calls on us to grieve the loss of life. Please add a candle below.🕯
2/n During the #COVID19 pandemic, it's important to be grounded in this notion of shared humanity. It will help us as we ask the questions, Who's dying and why? Hopefully, this will lead us to more nuanced responses that critically examine these deaths 'in context'.
3/n In the U.S., we must contend with the fact, that the #COVID19 pandemic is unfolding within the context of a society steeped in interlocking systems of racism leading to the disproportionate impact among Blacks and other marginalized racial groups. #RacismNotRace
