Updates to the health impact of redlining
edit
Proposed addition: Expanded health outcomes research
editDisclosure: I work for NCRC, which is cited in this article and has published research on redlining and health. The sources I'm proposing are all peer-reviewed academic publications independent of NCRC. I'm not proposing to add or expand NCRC-authored content. Per WP:COI, posting here rather than editing directly.
The article has good sections on life expectancy and COVID-19, but it's missing the larger body of peer-reviewed research that's come out since 2020. There are now multiple systematic reviews synthesizing dozens of studies on redlining and health.
What's missing
editSystematic reviews
Kraus et al. (2024) in Public Health Nursing reviewed 36 studies and found significant associations between historic redlining and cardiovascular disease, preterm birth, cancer incidence and mortality, firearm injuries, and asthma.
Lee et al. (2022) in Social Science & Medicine did the first systematic review and meta-analysis. They found residents of historically redlined areas had significantly higher odds of preterm birth (OR = 1.41) and worse outcomes for gunshot injuries, asthma, and chronic conditions.
Swope et al. (2022) in Journal of Urban Health reviewed 33 studies and built a conceptual framework linking redlining to health through segregation, disinvestment, and reduced wealth accumulation.
Health outcomes not currently covered
The article mentions life expectancy and COVID but doesn't cover the documented associations with cardiovascular disease and stroke, breast cancer incidence and survival, preterm birth and maternal mortality, diabetes, mental health, or asthma. These are in peer-reviewed journals like PNAS, JAMA Network Open, and American Journal of Public Health.
