098 - The Impact of Racism on Child and Adolescent Health

A year ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a landmark statement about the impact of racism on child and adolescent health. Dr. Maria Trent, the lead author of this statement, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about the many ways that racism undermines health over a lifetime. Trent also discusses how to give pediatricians, teachers, parents, and caregivers the language and tools they need to address racism's impacts on children's safety and wellbeing.
