| Summary: |
This webinar is one component of a body of work and concerted public health effort led by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health and Dr Ima Jackson, Co-Chair of the Scottish Migrant and Ethnic Health Research Strategy Group, in collaboration with Public Health Scotland, to develop understanding of racism and racialisation as fundamental determinants of health in Scotland. This work is committed to ensuring Scotland as a nation has the information it needs to address racism, discrimination and the impacts on population health.
In this seminar, Prof Williams presented the discrimination scales he has developed that measure and evidence different types of interpersonal discrimination and their negative effects on health. These document that how we treat and relate to each other on a day-to-day basis, do not just matter for how they make us feel or our mental health responses, but lead to pathogenic responses within the body.
This webinar brought together community members with experience of racialisation and public health leads in research, policy and service provision in Scotland, to listen and learn together in our pursuit to mainstream the understanding of racism as a fundamental cause of health inequality. |
