A long history of discriminatory policies in the United States has created disparities in neighborhood resources that shape ethnoracial health inequities today. To quantify these differences, we organized publicly available data on forty-two variables at the census tract level within nine domains affected by structural racism: built environment, criminal justice, education, employment, housing, income and poverty, social cohesion, transportation, and wealth. Using data from multiple sources at several levels of geography, we developed scores in each domain, as well as a summary score that we call the Structural Racism Effect Index. We examined correlations with life expectancy and other measures of health for this index and other commonly used area-based indices. The Structural Racism Effect Index was more strongly associated with each health outcome than were the other indices. Its domain and summary scores can be used to describe differences in social risk factors, and they provide powerful new tools to guide policies and investments to advance health equity.
美国长期存在的歧视性政策导致了社区资源的不平等分配,这些不平等分配对当今的族裔健康不平等产生了影响。为了量化这些差异,我们整理了公开的、在 42 个变量层面上的普查数据,这些变量分布在 9 个受到结构性种族主义影响的领域:建筑环境、刑事司法、教育、就业、住房、收入和贫困、社会凝聚力、交通和财富。我们利用来自多个地理层面的多个来源的数据,在每个领域都开发了得分,以及一个我们称之为“结构性种族主义效应指数”的综合得分。我们还检查了这个指数与预期寿命和其他健康指标之间的相关性,以及其他常用的基于区域的指数。结构性种族主义效应指数与每个健康结果的相关性都强于其他指数。它的领域和综合得分可以用来描述社会风险因素的差异,并为指导政策和投资以促进健康公平提供了强大的新工具。
