Law and racism are intertwined, with legal tools bearing the potential to serve as instruments of oppression or equity. This Special Issue explores this dual nature of health law, with attention to policing in the context of mental health, schools, and substance use disorders; industry and the environment in the context of food advertising, tobacco regulation, worker safety, and environmental racism; health care and research in the context of infant mortality, bias in medical applications of AI, and diverse inclusion in research; and anti-racist teaching and practice in the context of building an interprofessional curriculum and medical-legal partnerships.
法律和种族主义是交织在一起的，法律工具具有压迫或公平的潜力。本期特刊探讨了健康法的这种双重性质，关注了心理健康、学校和物质使用障碍背景下的治安；食品广告、烟草监管、工人安全和环境种族主义背景下的工业和环境；婴儿死亡率、人工智能在医学应用中的偏见和研究中的多样性包容背景下的医疗保健和研究；以及构建跨专业课程和医学法律伙伴关系背景下的反种族主义教学和实践。
