AMA Journal of Ethics^®

Aislinn C. Rookwood and Mariah Abney join Ethics Talk to discuss their article, coauthored with Hannah S. Butler-Robbins, Danielle Marie Westmark, and Dr Regina Idoate: “Arts-Based Research Methods to Explore Cancer in Indigenous Communities.”

Culturally responsive, arts-based methods can enhance research and education across the cancer-control continuum with Indigenous persons.

Dr José G. Pérez-Ramos joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Drs Adriana Garriga-López and Carlos E. Rodríguez-Díaz: “How Is Colonialism a Sociostructural Determinant of Health in Puerto Rico?”

Hurricane María, earthquakes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and relentless privatization and fragmentation of the health care system have led to very poor health outcomes.

On this episode of Ethics Talk, Dr Ruth Enid Zambrana shows how decisions about demographic data collection have the power to illuminate or obscure health inequity. Then, Drs Fernando De Maio, Diana N. Derige, and Diana Lemos discuss the work that the AMA Center for Health Equity has been doing to advance Latinx health equity.

Devastating effects of COVID-19 among Latinos have not been adequately emphasized by media, public health, research, or government.

CHWs’ work underscores need for clinicians and organizations to respond to deeply entrenched, long-standing patterns of oppression in ways that draw upon lived experience.
