Structural Racism as an Upstream Social Determinant of Diabetes Outcomes: A Scoping Review
Authors' conclusion
There is a paucity of work investigating the relationship between structural racism and diabetes outcomes. Five areas for future work include 1) more rigorous research on the relationship between structural racism, downstream social determinants, and health outcomes in diabetes, 2) policy assessments specific to diabetes outcomes, 3) research designed to examine pathways and mechanisms of influence, 4) intervention development to mitigate the impact of structural racism, and 5) tracking and monitoring of change over time.
