'I have seen my children of colour be misdiagnosed.'
In the essay, titled “Addressing Health Inequities in Survivors of Domestic Violence,” Jolie writes that “medical research, imagery, and training continue to centre on white skin, not on how injuries present differently in patients with darker skin tone.
“As the mother of children of multiple races, I have seen my children of colour be misdiagnosed, at times in ways that endangered their health,” she wrote. Jolie describes a visit with forensic nurse Katherine N. Scafide in her laboratory, where she saw how a handheld device could highlight bruising on darker skin tones that had been invisible to the naked eye—especially important, as Jolie says, because of “the unacceptable, disproportionate impact of domestic violence on communities of colour in America.” Because bruises can be hard to see, the extent of patients’ injuries is often underestimated and undertreated.
