Description

Racism and discrimination as social determinants of health are becoming increasingly recognised in public health research in Germany. Studies show correlations with physical and mental health and even changes at the cellular level. In addition to the adverse health effects of interpersonal and direct discrimination, the relevance of structural and institutional racism for health inequalities has been little explored. This narrative review synthesises and critically discusses relevant and recent research findings and makes recommendations for action in research and practice. Structural and institutional aspects of discrimination and racism are closely linked to health. Systemic discrimination in education, employment, housing and healthcare affects overall, mental and physical health, access to prevention and care, and health behaviour.
