这项研究记录了大波士顿地区1，202名主要是黑人，拉丁美洲人和白色女性和男性低收入工会工人的联合健康队列中工作场所虐待，工作中的性骚扰和种族歧视的终身经历的患病率。总体而言，85%的队列报告暴露于这三种社会危害中的至少一种;在黑人妇女和除白色、黑人或拉丁美洲人以外的种族/民族群体中，暴露于所有三种危害的比例达到20%至30%。在过去的一年里，略多于一半的工人报告了工作场所的虐待，白色男性报告的最多（69%）。在过去的一年里，26%的女性和22%的男性报告了工作中的性骚扰，除拉丁裔和白色男性外，所有种族/民族性别群体的性骚扰率都在20%或以上。据报道，37%的有色人种工人受到种族歧视的风险很高，而白色工人的这一比例为10%，黑人工人受到的风险最高（44%）。总之，这些发现意味着阶级、种族和性别不平等的生活和综合经历及其对人类尊严的攻击与工人健康的分析密切相关。
This study documents the prevalence of workplace abuse, sexual harassment at work, and lifetime experiences of racial discrimination among the United for Health cohort of 1,202 predominantly black, Latino, and white women and men low-income union workers in the Greater Boston area. Overall, 85 percent of the cohort reported exposure to at least one of these three social hazards; exposure to all three reached 20 to 30 percent among black women and women and men in racial/ethnic groups other than white, black, or Latino. Workplace abuse in the past year, reported by slightly more than half the workers, was most frequently reported by the white men (69%). Sexual harassment at work in the past year was reported by 26 percent of the women and 22 percent of the men, with values of 20 percent or more in all racial/ethnic-gender groups other than Latinas and white men. High exposure to racial discrimination was reported by 37 percent of the workers of color, compared with 10 percent of the white workers, with black workers reporting the greatest exposure (44%). Together, these findings imply that the lived-and combined-experiences of class, race, and gender inequities and their attendant assaults on human dignity are highly germane to analyses of workers' health.
