What could our society look like if racial disparities in health outcomes didn’t exist? For children, racism affects their health in numerous and complicated ways. Children targeted by racism have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and behaviour problems. Therefore, policies must intentionally dismantle systemic racism to foster an inclusive and thriving society for all racially and ethnically minoritised children. Join Esther Lau, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, and Series authors for the global launch of our new Series on racism and child health in the USA. They will discuss how racial and ethnic inequities affect the quality of paediatric care in the USA, before proposing policy solutions to eliminate child health disparities.
