Rethinking ‘Race’ to Reconstruct Research Practices: Introducing Population-Conscious Analysis
Monday, Oct. 6
3 p.m. ET
Race/ethnicity is commonly used as a predictor variable in biomedical research. This practice can perpetuate inequities when race/ethnicity and other social-identity categories are treated as fixed characteristics rather than as proxies for the social, environmental, and structural factors that produce unjust group differences in health outcomes. Join the Center and IAPHS to learn about a novel research method which systematically assesses this critical factor, shifting the focus from describing health differences between social groups to understanding the mechanisms that produce those differences.
