美国儿科学会致力于解决影响儿童和青少年健康的因素，重点关注可能使一些儿童比其他儿童更脆弱的问题。种族主义是健康的社会决定因素，对儿童、青少年、初出茅庐的成年人及其家庭的健康状况有着深远的影响。虽然在种族平等和公平方面取得了进展，但有证据表明，种族主义通过隐含和明确的偏见、体制结构和人际关系继续对健康和福祉产生负面影响。这项政策声明的目的是提供一份以证据为基础的文件，侧重于种族主义在儿童和青少年发展和健康结果中的作用。通过承认种族主义在儿童和青少年健康中的作用，儿科医生和其他儿科保健专业人员将能够积极参与各种战略，以优化临床护理、劳动力发展、专业教育、系统参与和研究，以减少结构性、个人调节和内在化的种族主义对健康的影响，并改善所有儿童、青少年、初出茅庐的成年人及其家庭的健康和福祉。
The American Academy of Pediatrics is committed to addressing the factors that affect child and adolescent health with a focus on issues that may leave some children more vulnerable than others. Racism is a social determinant of health that has a profound impact on the health status of children, adolescents, emerging adults, and their families. Although progress has been made toward racial equality and equity, the evidence to support the continued negative impact of racism on health and well-being through implicit and explicit biases, institutional structures, and interpersonal relationships is clear. The objective of this policy statement is to provide an evidence-based document focused on the role of racism in child and adolescent development and health outcomes. By acknowledging the role of racism in child and adolescent health, pediatricians and other pediatric health professionals will be able to proactively engage in strategies to optimize clinical care, workforce development, professional education, systems engagement, and research in a manner designed to reduce the health effects of structural, personally mediated, and internalized racism and improve the health and well-being of all children, adolescents, emerging adults, and their families.
