The antiracism blueprint: moving from research to public health practice
A new review examines the application of Public Health Critical Race Praxis (PHCRP), an antiracism framework, to practice-focused research. While PHCRP is increasingly used to conceptualize racism as a driver of health inequities, the authors find a scarcity of studies that use it to guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of concrete antiracism interventions in community or healthcare settings. The review establishes a baseline assessment and offers recommendations to support future evidence-based efforts aimed at disrupting systemic racism and mitigating its health impacts.
Why it might matter to you:
This work directly addresses the translation gap between identifying a social determinant of health and creating actionable, evidence-based programs to counter it. For professionals focused on chronic disease prevention, it provides a critical framework for designing interventions that tackle the root causes of health disparities, moving beyond individual behavior change to address systemic factors. It underscores the need for practice-ready research to inform more effective and equitable public health strategies.
