Reducing Racial Inequities in Health: Using What We Already Know to Take Action
Open accessAbstract
This paper provides an overview of the scientific evidence pointing to critically needed steps to reduce racial inequities in health. First, it argues that communities of opportunity should be developed to minimize some of the adverse impacts of systemic racism. These are communities that provide early childhood development resources, implement policies to reduce childhood poverty, provide work and income support opportunities for adults, and ensure healthy housing and neighborhood conditions. Second, the healthcare system needs new emphases on ensuring access to high quality care for all, strengthening preventive health care approaches, addressing patients’ social needs as part of healthcare delivery, and diversifying the healthcare work force to more closely reflect the demographic composition of the patient population. Finally, new research is needed to identify the optimal strategies to build political will and support to address social inequities in health. This will include initiatives to raise awareness levels of the pervasiveness of inequities in health, build empathy and support for addressing inequities, enhance the capacity of individuals and communities to actively participate in intervention efforts and implement large scale efforts to reduce racial prejudice, ideologies, and stereotypes in the larger culture that undergird policy preferences that initiate and sustain inequities.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review argues that eliminating racial health inequities requires coordinated action on communities of opportunity, health care delivery, and political will/awareness. It synthesizes evidence for specific policies and interventions, from early childhood programs and income supports to provider bias reduction and social-needs integration.
Key findings
- The paper organizes needed action into three strategies: creating communities of opportunity, building more health into medical care delivery, and raising awareness/building political will to address inequities.
- Early childhood and income-support evidence includes Perry Preschool, where at age 40 the intervention group had higher income, high school completion, college graduation, health insurance coverage, and home ownership and lower crime, out-of-wedlock births, and welfare assistance; Abecedarian treatment males had systolic blood pressure of 126 mm Hg versus 143 mm Hg in controls, and none versus one in four controls met metabolic syndrome criteria; early childhood programs were reported to return $3 to $17 per dollar invested.
- In 2017, child poverty rates were 33% for American Indian children, 33% for African American children, 26% for Hispanic children, 11% for Asian and Pacific Islander children, and 11% for white children. A $1 minimum wage increase above the federal minimum was associated with a 1%–2% decrease in low birth weight and a 4% decrease in post-neonatal mortality; if all states in 2014 had increased their minimum wage by $1, the researchers estimated 2,790 fewer low birth weight births and 518 fewer post-neonatal deaths.
- The Delaware colorectal cancer program increased colonoscopy screening by 54% for blacks and 29% for whites and eliminated the racial screening gap; CRC incidence declined 34% for African Americans and 26% for whites, and mortality declined 42% for blacks and 13% for whites, with annual program costs of $7 million versus $8.5 million in savings. Kidney transplantation disparities increased: 2-year cumulative incidence of live donor kidney transplantation in 1995 was 7.0% for white, 3.4% for black, 6.8% for Hispanic, and 5.1% for Asian patients; in 2014 it was 11.4% for white, 2.9% for black, 5.9% for Hispanic, and 5.6% for Asian patients.
Methods
- Design: narrative review/overview of scientific evidence, not a new empirical study.
- Data/sample: published research, national data, and program evaluations cited in the paper; no new primary data were collected.
- Analysis: the paper synthesizes evidence around three intervention strategies—communities of opportunity, health care delivery reform, and awareness/political will—and cites specific studies and examples to support each.
Limitations
- Stated: the authors note that much remains to be learned about optimal timing and sequencing of interventions, scaling up promising local studies, and effective mass-media communication strategies; research on raising awareness of racial inequities is described as limited with significant gaps.
- Evident: as a narrative review, it does not report a systematic search strategy, inclusion criteria, or quantitative synthesis.
- Evident: many cited interventions are small/local studies, natural experiments, or program evaluations, and the paper does not formally assess risk of bias across the evidence base.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
