abstract: 'African-Americans shoulder an excessive burden of unemployment,

  precarious employment, and low paying jobs in the United States, which

  may help explain why they experience some of the worst health outcomes

  among U.S. citizens. This paper presents a conceptual framework

  describing this phenomenon. The social determinants of health as

  described by this framework include racism, social and public policy

  formation, socioeconomic status, and conditions of employment. The

  intermediate determinants of health, which include the ability to afford

  health behavior, depression and addiction, environmental exposures, and

  access to primary care, are informed by conditions of employment, which

  leads to poor health outcomes for African-Americans. This paper will

  explore in detail these relationships.'
