本文探讨在何种程度上种族差异的社会经济地位（SES），社会阶层和急性和慢性指标的歧视，以及一般措施的压力可以解释黑人和白人的差异，自我报告的措施的身体和精神健康。当根据教育，特别是收入进行调整时，观察到的种族健康差异显着减少。然而，感知到的歧视和更传统的压力测量都与健康有关，并在解释种族之间健康状况的差异方面发挥着越来越大的作用。这些调查结果突出表明，需要开展研究工作，查明经济和非经济形式的歧视相互关联的复杂方式，以及联合收割机与社会经济地位和其他风险因素和资源结合起来影响健康的复杂方式。
This article examines the extent to which racial differences in socio-economic status (SES), social class and acute and chronic indicators of perceived discrimination, as well as general measures of stress can account for black-white differences in self-reported measures of physical and mental health. The observed racial differences in health were markedly reduced when adjusted for education and especially income. However, both perceived discrimination and more traditional measures of stress are related to health and play an incremental role in accounting for differences between the races in health status. These findings underscore the need for research efforts to identify the complex ways in which economic and non-economic forms of discrimination relate to each other and combine with socio-economic position and other risk factors and resources to affect health.
