    Responsibility of Medical Journals in Addressing Racism in Health Care Gbenga Ogedegbe, MD, MPH

    Editorial Responsibility of Medical Journals in Addressing Racism in Health Care Gbenga Ogedegbe, MD, MPH Racism, as a health, public health, and health care issue has received important attention in recent + Editorial 1-3 medical journals. However, while racial and ethnic health disparities have been the subject of Author affiliations and article information are research for decades, racism has received comparatively little attention in research published in listed at the end of this article. medical journals. Recent protests across the US and beyond in response to the horrific death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, have drawn renewed attention to the consequences of systemic racism on the health of Black, Hispanic, indigenous, and other people of color. Defined as a “system of structures, policies, practices, and norms that construct opportunities and assigns values based on one’s phenotype,” 4 racism was identified 30 years ago as an underlying cause of health inequities.5 Since then, the role of structural pillars of racism such as employment discrimination, mass incarceration, redlining, substandard public education, exposure to environmental hazards, differential treatment in health care settings, and poor access to quality health care have been extensively documented as social determinants of health. These structural pillars of racism foster an insidious and pervasive environment that promotes the persisting racial gap in morbidity and mortality. Given this context, it is important to reassess the role of medical journals in addressing the health effects of systemic racism. Racism as a Social Determinant of Health Recently, many professional societies6-8 representing physicians have made public declarations denouncing racist police brutality and racially motivated violence, with some affirming how racism contributes to social determinants of health.

AWARDS & HONORS Dr. Gbenga Ogedegbe Elected to the National Academy of Medicine by Office of Communications | 11:47 AM | Tuesday, October 17, 2017 | ✉ Share | 16 Likes Gbenga Ogedegbe, MD, MPH, (pictured left), the Dr. Adolph and Margaret Berger Professor of Population Health and Medicine, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine, considered one of the highest honors in health and medicine. He joins over 2,000 U.S. and international members elected by their peers “in recognition of outstanding achievement in health, medicine, and intersecting fields.” In a career as a physician and a clinical scientist that spans continents, Dr. Ogedegbe has dedicated himself to developing strategies to eliminate racial disparities in cardiovascular diseases and improve the outcomes of chronic diseases in minority populations. With a commitment to advancing health equity, Dr. Ogedegbe has led culturally­tailored community­ and practice­based strategies to reduce incidence and improve outcomes of cardiovascular diseases in African Americans. His scholarship in translation of evidence­based behavioral interventions to practice­based settings has provided a foundation for applying novel strategies to the management of hypertension. This includes building relationships with faith­based settings and barbershops to ensure the health system is reaching those with high blood pressure who cannot easily access health services. Dr. Ogedegbe demostrates the proper technique for taking blood pressure readings at a church in Harlem.

    Conference Program

    The 6th Annual New York City Conference on the Health African CBO Forum: of the African Transformation http://www.med.nyu.edu/ichr/chad/ Diaspora through Collaboration Farkas Auditorium, NYU Langone Medical Center, Saturday 550 1st Avenue February 19, 2011 ( Between 30th and 33rd Streets) 9:00AM – 6:30PM CONFERENCE PROGRAM Center for the Health of the African Diaspora From the Director of CHAD This conference is an effort by CHAD and leaders of a number of community based organization in New York City focused on serving African Immigrants. It evolved over many months of discussion on an identified need to form strategic collaboration among community based organizations and partnership with academic centers, foundations and federal institutions. The need for strategic collaboration has become even more pronounced during these times of financial stress, which has left many community based organizations without sufficient funding to conduct their work. While acknowledging the need to respond to financial challenges, it is important to seize emerging opportunities in new concepts of addressing public health and health disparities through an inte- grated approach that brings together academic medical centers, federal institutions of health and organizations engaged in the community to deploy translational solutions that span from basic bench research to implementation of prevention and care in the community. The arrival of new African immigrants in New York has taken place over many years going back to the days of Colonial Africa. The rate of immigration of this group has spiked over that past few decades making African immigrants one of the fastest growing demographic groups contributing to all facets of life in the city.

Methods and Results—Counseling African Americans to Control Hypertension (CAATCH) is a cluster-randomized clinical trial in which 30 Community Health Centers (CHCs) were randomly assigned to the intervention condition (IC) or usual care (UC). Patients at the IC sites received patient education, home BP monitoring, and monthly lifestyle counseling, while physicians attended monthly hypertension case rounds, and received feedback on their patients’ home BP readings and chart audits.
