The United States continues to be plagued with pervasive health disparities. Leading health and professional organizations acknowledge structural racism as a contributing factor for the lack of a racially diverse nursing workforce particularly those serving in leadership roles which could help to mitigate health disparities among historically stigmatized populations.
Purpose Lack of funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and lack of meaningful partnerships, stymie efforts that can be made by nursing programs at HBCUs.
Discussion This position paper examines collaborative actions that can address upstream factors that perpetuate healthcare disparities through deep engagement between the policymakers, professional associations, industry, and educational institutions.
Faculty representing HBCU's and predominately White institutions, professional organizations, and staff met via videoconference to refine the focus of the paper, determine topic areas for writing teams, and refine details which occurred during weekly meetings.
To disengage from structural racism, three critical recommendations are amplified with associated examples.
美国仍然饱受普遍存在的健康差异问题的困扰。主要的健康和专业组织承认，结构性种族主义是导致缺乏种族多元化护理劳动力的一个因素，尤其是那些担任领导角色的人员，而这些人员有助于缓解历史上受污名化人群之间的健康差异。
历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）缺乏资金以及缺乏有意义的伙伴关系，阻碍了HBCUs护理项目的努力。
本立场文件探讨了通过政策制定者、专业协会、行业和教育机构之间的深入合作，能够解决导致医疗保健差异长期存在的上游因素的合作行动。
代表HBCUs和主要白人机构的教师、专业组织和工作人员通过视频会议会面，以完善论文重点，确定写作团队的主题领域，并完善每周会议期间出现的细节。
为了摆脱结构性种族主义，文中强化了三项关键建议并列举了相关示例。
