Clarity on Race, Racism, and Ethnocentrism in the Medical Literature
2023, Journal of Pain and Symptom ManagementSociety for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Special Statement: Race in maternal-fetal medicine research- Dispelling myths and taking an accurate, antiracist approach
2022, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) subspecialists have a central role in providing culturally competent clinical care and uncovering evidence-based methods to mitigate disparities through research. Although race is a commonly collected and reported data element, it may not be evident how or why health outcomes are affected by race.3 In overt and subtle ways throughout medical research, race is often presented as a construct based on genetics.4–7
Racial differences in lumbar marrow adipose tissue and volumetric bone mineral density in adolescents and young adults with obesity
2020, Bone ReportsCitation Excerpt :Additionally, we did not investigate hormonal determinants involved in BMD and MAT regulation. Moreover, race was self-reported (Corbie-Smith et al., 2008). Strengths of our study include the assessment of vBMD of the lumbar spine and MAT content using advanced imaging methods.
Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Cutaneous Melanoma in Skin of Color Patients
2019, Dermatologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Health researchers have used several classification systems as surrogates to define groups of people. Race is a social and biological construct based largely on the phenotypic features of skin and hair color.5 Ethnicity reflects a convergence of biological factors, cultural factors, and geographic origins.5
