How Racism is Making Us Sick

This course is only for CHES practitioners.

The author, Layal Liverpool, a virologist, immunologist, and science journalist, reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and she tells us what to do about it. The Covid pandemic taught us that it disproportionately affected people of color.

Many medical conditions, especially dermatological ones can appear differently on darker skin. Some lab scores historically adjusted for the Black person were based upon shaky science or an opinion from slavery days that there are biological differences between races. The author shows that racism-related stress and trauma can make people of color more vulnerable to illness.

Quotes:

A must read for anyone working in healthcare! It’s not just dermatology, we see it in birth outcomes, HIV treatment, even in something as basic as how likely a doctor is to listen to your concerns and take them seriously. – Trisha, Amazon 6/22/2024

Engrossing! [It] is a factual, educational, enlightening, engrossing, raw, and compassionate read! – Young Family, Amazon 8/6/2024
