abstract: 'The health effects of economic resources (eg, education, employment, and
living place) and psychological assets (eg, self-efficacy, perceived
control over life, anger control, and emotions) are well-known. This
article summarizes the results of a growing body of evidence documenting
Blacks'' diminished return, defined as a systematically smaller health
gain from economic resources and psychological assets for Blacks in
comparison to Whites. Due to structural barriers that Blacks face in
their daily lives, the very same resources and assets generate smaller
health gain for Blacks compared to Whites. Even in the presence of equal
access resources and assets, such unequal health gain constantly
generates a racial health gap between Blacks and Whites in the United
States. In this paper, a number of public policies are recommended based
on these findings. First and foremost, public policies should not merely
focus on equalizing access to resources and assets, but also reduce the
societal and structural barriers that hinder Blacks. Policy solutions
should aim to reduce various manifestations of structural racism
including but not limited to differential pay, residential segregation,
lower quality of education, and crime in Black and urban communities. As
income was not found to follow the same pattern demonstrated for other
resources and assets (ie, income generated similar decline in risk of
mortality for Whites and Blacks), policies that enforce equal income and
increase minimum wage for marginalized populations are essential.
Improving quality of education of youth and employability of young
adults will enable Blacks to compete for high paying jobs. Policies that
reduce racism and discrimination in the labor market are also needed.
Without such policies, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to
eliminate the sustained racial health gap in the United States.'
