Racial Residential Segregation: A Fundamental Cause of Racial Disparities in Health (pdf) ![E-mail to a friend](assets/images/icon_email.gif)
SCHOLARLY ARTICLE by David R. Williams and Chiquita Collins, Public Health Reports, 2001 The authors review evidence that suggests that segregation is a primary cause of racial differences in socioeconomic status (SES) by determining access to education and employment opportunities. SES in turn remains a fundamental cause of racial differences in health. Segregation also creates conditions inimical to health in the social and physical environment. The authors conclude that effective efforts to eliminate racial disparities in health must seriously confront segregation and its pervasive consequences |
