Being exposed to some of the many historical incidences of anti-Black racism in American health care can contribute to white peoples' recognition of health disparities currently faced by Black Americans and lead to their support for policies that aim to create more equitable health outcomes, according to UCLA psychologists.
outcomes for Black Americans, compared with white Americans, are well-documented in many areas, including infant mortality, life expectancy, hypertension, heart disease and breast cancer mortality. However, 67% of white Americans say they do not believe that racism exists for Black Americans in the health care system.
In the first, the researchers exposed roughly 400 participants to a"critical Black history" lesson that consisted of photographs and captions illustrating health care injustices experienced by Black Americans from the 1800s to the present. For the second study, about 1,400 participants were divided into three groups, with each group exposed to one of three Black history lessons. Participants in the"critical Black history" group were shown photographs and captions, as in the first study.
A second group was exposed to a"celebratory Black history" lesson in which photographs and captions focused on the accomplishments of Black Americans in health care rather than episodes of systemic or individual racism and mistreatment. One photograph, for example, depicted Dr. Patricia Bath, the ophthalmologist who invented laser cataract surgery.—saw photographs of Black Americans from the 1800s to the present that included no critical or celebratory information.
