Health Equity Benefits All Communities (Including White Ones)
本文指出健康公平倡导者无意中让白人社区误以为健康公平政策不惠及他们,强调需改进定义、测量和沟通策略,让更多人认同健康公平的益处。
Policy Points Despite the goal of "all communities thriving," health equity-focused scientists and advocates have inadvertently made it easier for those "opposed to equity" to falsely convince many White communities that health equity-promoting policies and programs do not benefit them or their health. At a time when policy proposals and executive orders are likely to have major and potentially unjust impacts on the health and well-being of US communities, including White communities, it is crucial that health equity-related definitions, measurement, framing, and community engagement efforts build narratives, messages, and relationships that allow more people to see themselves in the health-equity tent.
