Excerpt: “It is now widely recognized that racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes in the U.S. are caused not only by structural inequities in our health care systems, but also by a wide range of social and environmental determinants of health. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) recognizes and encompasses this dual analysis in the area of public health.”
