The preponderance of studies on Black women's health cited in the eight articles of this special issue were published in medical and public health journals, rather than in health psychology journals. Health psychology stands conspicuously apart from other health disciplines in this neglect and exclusion of Blacks and Black women. On the other hand, although there are many studies of Black women's health published in medical and public health journals, these studies have neglected a variety of important cultural and social-contextual variables, and often are methodologically inadequate. Hence, we conclude that studies on Black women's health that examine neglected variables and employ rigorous methods are needed in health psychology, behavioral medicine, and the other health disciplines as well. Specific variables and hypotheses that might be addressed in such future research are highlighted.
本期特刊的八篇文章中引用的关于黑人女性健康的研究大多发表在医学和公共卫生期刊上，而非健康心理学期刊。在对黑人和黑人女性的忽视与排斥方面，健康心理学明显有别于其他健康学科。另一方面，尽管医学和公共卫生期刊上发表了许多关于黑人女性健康的研究，但这些研究忽视了各种重要的文化和社会背景变量，而且在方法上往往存在不足。因此，我们得出结论，健康心理学、行为医学以及其他健康学科都需要开展研究，以探讨被忽视的变量，并采用严谨的方法来研究黑人女性的健康。文中还强调了此类未来研究可能涉及的具体变量和假设。
