The Undefeated Survey on Race and Health

We'd be hard pressed to talk about the healthcare system without bringing up systemic inequality. This article published the results of a survey conducted with over 1,700 US adults regarding their views on the healthcare system and the COVID-19 pandemic. “The survey finds that Black men and women largely agree that it is a difficult time to be Black in America, a finding that is perhaps not surprising given the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Black families and the national attention drawn to police violence against Black Americans, along with broader issues of systemic racism, over the summer of 2020.” As healthcare providers, we must educate ourselves on these issues and actively work towards resolving them.
