Review of Core Guiding Question for Workshop, (Chair, Workshop Steering Committee)

How can we apply insights regarding conceptualization, measurement, and modeling of structural racism to inform decisions about:

  1. what new measures of structural racism we ought to collect (or what data linkages are needed) in ongoing or future studies to help advance aging research;
  2. what are the mechanisms we ought to collect (or what data linkages are needed) in ongoing or future studies that link structural racism to disparities in health and well-being over time and place;
  3. what study designs can be used to study how structural factors operate to shape health over the life course?
10:30 am – 12:30 pm SESSION 1: Setting the Foundation: Studying Race and Structural Racism Responsibly
There has been increasing interest in population and population health research in the measurement of structural racism and its role in a multitude of outcomes over the life course. However, work in this area requires a grounding in foundational work in the humanities and humanistic social sciences on race, racemaking, and racism that has been ongoing since the turn of the century (e.g., work of W.E.B. Dubois). In this session, experts in the study of race and racism will provide key insights that are required to ensure that future lifecourse and aging population health research acknowledges and understands the complexity of these concepts and applies them to data collection and analysis to move the needle in improving population health and wellbeing and reducing health disparities

1:30 – 4:00 SESSION 2: Assessing the Landscape: The Measurement and Modeling of Structural Racism (Part I)
Many researchers have developed unique and rigorous measurement and modeling approaches to capture the complexity of structural racism that are theoretically driven and have implications for population health and wellbeing across the life course. In this session, experts will discuss the different approaches they have used to measure structural racism (e.g., laws, policies, institutions) and model structural racism (e.g., causal models, cumulative impacts) and the consequences of structural racism. The experts will describe the mechanisms that link structural racism to disparities in health and wellbeing across the life course. They will also consider the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches for population health and aging research.
