This talk explores key findings from Unequal Cities: Structural Racism and the Death Gap in America's 30 Largest Cities (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2021). Maureen Benjamins, PhD (Sinai Urban Health Institute) and Fernando De Maio, PhD (American Medical Association / DePaul University) will discuss key findings from the work, focusing on Black-white inequities in mortality, variability in inequities across cities, as well as variability in inequities across causes of death.
