Structural racism refers to the societal mechanisms that limit marginalized communities' access to resources and opportunities, consequently affecting their health and well-being. To achieve kidney health equity, it is crucial to eliminate structural racism. A workshop was held to discuss interventions and research opportunities targeting structural racism in reducing kidney health disparities, identifying six key domains for intervention and future research.
Structural racism embodies the many ways in which society fosters racial discrimination through ?mutually reinforcing inequitable systems? that limit access to resources and opportunities that can promote health and well being among marginalized communities. To achieve health equity, and kidney health equity more specifically, structural racism must be eliminated. In February 2022, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases convened the ?Designing Interventions that Address Structural Racism to Reduce Kidney Health Disparities? workshop, which was aimed at describing the mechanisms through which structural racism contributes to health and health care disparities for people along the continuum of kidney disease and identifying actionable opportunities for interventional research focused on dismantling or addressing the effects of structural racism. Participants identified six domains as key targets for interventions and future research: (1) apply an antiracism lens, (2) promote structural interventions, (3) target multiple levels, (4) promote effective community and stakeholder engagement, (5) improve data collection, and (6) advance health equity through new health care models. There is an urgent need for research to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions that address the unjust systems, policies, and laws that generate and perpetuate inequities in kidney health.
