Abstract

The article argues that health equity requires working toward antiracist local public health departments (LHD). It explains the role of LHDs in antiracist capacity building to earn public trust where there is race discrimination in the health infrastructure. It proposes the disruption of structural racism and racial health inequities by engaging LHDs in advocacy efforts, cross-sector collaborations and community-based partnerships, and providing services in racially marginalized communities.

11. Respecting Autonomy and Enabling Diversity: The Effect of Eligibility and Enrollment on Research Data Demographics

Abstract

Many promising advances in precision health and other Big Data research rely on large data sets to analyze correlations among genetic variants, behavior, environment, and outcomes to improve population health. But these data sets are generally populated with demographically homogeneous cohorts. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients at a major academic medical center during 2012-19 to explore how recruitment and enrollment approaches affected the demographic diversity of participants in its research biospecimen and data bank. We found that compared with the overall clinical population, patients who consented to enroll in the research data bank were significantly less diverse in terms of age, sex, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Compared with patients who were recruited for the data bank, patients who enrolled were younger and less likely to be Black or African American, Asian, or Hispanic. The overall demographic diversity of the data bank was affected as much (and in some cases more) by which patients were considered eligible for recruitment as by which patients consented to enroll. Our work underscores the need for systemic commitment to diversify data banks so that different communities can benefit from research.

Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of bounded justice and its application to the inclusion of Black bodies in precision medicine, using sickle cell disease as a case study. Topics include the operation of racism and racialization in biomedical research, the challenges of engaging and including the Black population in precision medicine, and the need for a paradigm shift to center Black voices and prioritize community in scientific endeavors.

Abstract

Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a collection of inherited blood disorders that affect a substantial number of people in the U.S., particularly African Americans. People with SCD have an abnormal type of hemoglobin, Hb S, which polymerizes when deoxygenated, causing the red blood cells to become misshapen and rigid. Individuals with SCD are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality from infections, vaso-occlusive pain crises, acute chest syndrome, and other complications. Addressing the public health needs related to SCD is an important step toward improving outcomes and maintaining health for those affected by the disorder. The objective of this study was to review public health activities focusing on SCD and define the need to address it more comprehensively from a public health perspective. We found that there has been some progress in the development of SCD-related public health activities. Such activities include establishing newborn screening (NBS) for SCD with all states currently having universal NBS programs. However, additional areas needing focus include strengthening surveillance and monitoring of disease occurrence and health outcomes, enhancing adherence to health maintenance guidelines, increasing knowledge and awareness among those affected, and improving healthcare access and utilization. These and other activities discussed in this paper can help strengthen public health efforts to address SCD. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
