塔斯基吉系统研究继续对非裔美国人和生物医学界之间的当代关系投下长长的阴影。许多报告认为，塔斯基吉系统研究是许多非洲裔美国人不信任医学和公共卫生机构的最重要原因。这样的解释忽略了一个关键的历史点：不信任早于公众对塔斯基吉研究的揭露。本文将梅毒研究置于更广泛的历史和社会背景下，以证明几个因素已经影响并继续影响非裔美国人对生物医学界的态度。
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study continues to cast its long shadow on the contemporary relationship between African Americans and the biomedical community. Numerous reports have argued that the Tuskegee Syphilis Study is the most important reason why many African Americans distrust the institutions of medicine and public health. Such an interpretation neglects a critical historical point: the mistrust predated public revelations about the Tuskegee study. This paper places the syphilis study within a broader historical and social context to demonstrate that several factors have influenced-and continue to influence-African Americans' attitudes toward the biomedical community.
