    Racism is harmful to a child’s health, starting from before they are born. As an organization dedicated to the health of all children, we are committed to reducing the health effects and burdens of racism. Read AAP’s new #RacismAndHealth policy statement: http://ow.ly/n11C50veVCt

        When the #pediatricians are riled up it’s time to come together and take action.

        Racism is a health problem. It's definitely bad for minorities exposed to it, but I think it's also bad for white people who have it. It is bad for healthcare system in terms of health outcomes and costs. Health professionals should fight racism the way we fight other vectors.

        Behavioral change theory: perceived benefits & risks needed before people modify behavior. What is effect of anti-minority racism on white people's health? There's no research on PubMed. Not talking about or studying racism in health has hurt white people too.

        Children can experience the effects of racism from other individuals, as well as through the places they live and learn, through limited access to resources and economic opportunity, and how their rights are enforced or exercised.
