Structural racism in the health care workforce during the first wave of COVID-19

What is it about?

Health care workers faced extreme stress during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that Latinx, Black, Asian, and Multiracial health care workers were exposed to worse stressors than White colleagues, suggesting structural racism.

These results are important because they suggest a need to reduce structural racism among health care workers and develop support systems for mental health.
