这一特别部分的目标是审查关于种族/民族和种族主义的科学现状，因为它们有助于健康差距，并阐明研究议程，以指导未来的研究。在第一篇论文中，迈尔斯提出了一个综合性的理论框架，用于理解种族主义，贫困和其他主要压力源如何通过相互关联的心理社会和生物行为途径与健康相关。威廉姆斯和穆罕默德审查有关种族主义与健康之间的关联的证据，解决种族主义可以运作的多个层面，并评论重要的方法问题。Klonoff提供了一个审查和更新的文献有关种族相关的差异在医疗保健，并解决可能导致这些差异的因素。Brondolo及其同事从压力和应对的角度考虑种族主义，并回顾了有关种族身份，愤怒应对和社会支持的文献，作为种族主义健康协会的潜在调节剂。最后，卡斯特罗和他的同事们描述了一个生态发展模型，可以作为一个综合框架来研究多层次的社会文化对健康和健康行为的影响。总的来说，特别部分的文件解决的理论和方法问题的核心了解健康差距的决定因素，为未来的研究提供方向，制定有效的干预措施，以减少这些差距的目的。
The goals of this special section are to examine the state-of-the-science regarding race/ethnicity and racism as they contribute to health disparities and to articulate a research agenda to guide future research. In the first paper, Myers presents an integrative theoretical framework for understanding how racism, poverty, and other major stressors relate to health through inter-related psychosocial and bio-behavioral pathways. Williams and Mohammed review the evidence concerning associations between racism and health, addressing the multiple levels at which racism can operate and commenting on important methodological issues. Klonoff provides a review and update of the literature concerning ethnicity-related disparities in healthcare, and addresses factors that may contribute to these disparities. Brondolo and colleagues consider racism from a stress and coping perspective, and review the literature concerning racial identity, anger coping, and social support as potential moderators of the racism-health association. Finally, Castro and colleagues describe an ecodevelopmental model that can serve as an integrative framework to examine multi-level social-cultural influences on health and health behavior. In aggregate, the special section papers address theoretical and methodological issues central to understanding the determinants of health disparities, with the aim of providing direction for future research critical to developing effective interventions to reduce these disparities.
