One in every twenty-five persons in America is a racial/ethnic minority who lives in a rural area as discussed by the authors, which exposes them to greater risk of developing cancer and experiencing poorer cancer outcomes in treatment and ultimately survival.Abstract:
One in every twenty-five persons in America is a racial/ethnic minority who lives in a rural area. Our objective was to summarize how racism and, subsequently, the social determinants of health disproportionately affect rural racial/ethnic minority populations, provide a review of the cancer disparities experienced by rural racial/ethnic minority groups, and recommend policy, research, and intervention approaches to reduce these disparities. We found that rural Black and American Indian/Alaska Native populations experience greater poverty and lack of access to care, which expose them to greater risk of developing cancer and experiencing poorer cancer outcomes in treatment and ultimately survival. There is a critical need for additional research to understand the disparities experienced by all rural racial/ethnic minority populations. We propose that policies aim to increase access to care and healthcare resources for these communities. Further, that observational and interventional research should more effectively address the intersections of rurality and race/ethnicity through reduced structural and interpersonal biases in cancer care, increased data access, more research on newer cancer screening and treatment modalities, and continued intervention and implementation research to understand how evidence-based practices can most effectively reduce disparities among these populations.read more

Racial/ethnic discrimination and health: findings from community studies.
TL;DR: The authors review the available empirical evidence and indicates that discrimination is associated with multiple indicators of poorer physical and, especially, mental health status, but the extant research does not adequately address whether and how exposure to discrimination leads to increased risk of disease.

Racial bias in pain assessment and treatment recommendations, and false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites
TL;DR: It is shown that a substantial number of white laypeople and medical students and residents hold false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites and this work demonstrates that these beliefs predict racial bias in pain perception and treatment recommendation accuracy.
