This framework is useful for raising new hypotheses about the basis of race-associated differences in health outcomes, as well as for designing effective interventions to eliminate those differences. She then presents an allegory about a gardener with 2 flower boxes, rich and poor soil, and red and pink flowers. This allegory illustrates the relationship between the 3 levels of racism and may guide our thinking about how to intervene to mitigate the impacts of racism on health. It may also serve as a tool for starting a national conversation on racism.

A growing body of research shows that centuries of racism in this country has had a profound and negative impact on communities of color. The impact is pervasive and deeply embedded in our society"}, doi = {10.2105/AJPH.90.8.1212}, editor = {Morabia, Alfredo}, interhash = {15da1cf1a690eaf9d9d9e1bb78e12b96}, intrahash = {6c805b5eb38117b9868cc995675f9113}, journal = {American Journal of Public Health }, keywords = {critical-race-theory public-health racial-disparity racism}, language = {en}, month = {August}, number = 8, pages = {1212-1215}, timestamp = {2021-07-24T10:53:32.000+0200}, title = {Levels of racism: a theoretic framework and a gardener's tale}, url = {https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.90.8.1212}, volume = 90, year = 2000 }
