Subject: [SRNT List] Call for papers: Measurement and impact of
discrimination in the health care setting- AJPH



The Applied Research and the Behavioral Research Programs of the
Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH)
are sponsoring a special theme issue of the American Journal of Public
Health to highlight results of recent research on the measurement and
impact of discrimination in the health care setting. Studies
appropriate for consideration for inclusion in the special issue
include but are not limited to:

· Descriptive and analytic studies that examine racial/ethnic
discrimination as a risk factor for racial/ethnic disparities in
disease incidence, treatment, and outcomes;

· Studies that report on the development of new data
collection modalities and the evaluation of existing data collection
instruments/modalities for measuring discrimination or response to
discrimination;

· Studies that report on innovative methods of measuring
racial/ethnic discriminatory behavior, perception of exposure to
racial/ethnic discrimination, and novel approaches to analyzing
quantitative and qualitative data for the purpose of describing
discriminatory behavior and exposure to racial/ethnic discrimination;

· Studies that examine the impact of institutional racism in
health care delivery systems or policies and its contribution to
racial/ethnic health disparities;

· Studies that report findings from the development and
evaluation of cross-cultural communication interventions aimed at
reducing discriminatory behavior, the perception of exposure to racial/
ethnic discrimination, and the health-related consequences of racial/
ethnic discrimination;

· Studies that examine bias/discriminatory attitudes, beliefs,
and behaviors that may influence/limit access to diagnostic
technologies and therapies for racial/ethnic minorities;

· Studies that examine the biological and psychosocial
pathways that link exposure to discrimination and health.
