摘要

本文探讨了从纽约市曼哈顿区步行到哈莱姆区所观察到的鲜明对比和不平等现象,突出强调了对公共卫生和社会政策具有深远影响的重大社会和经济差异。通过这次旅行,我们探讨了包括种族隔离、商店构成、吸烟习惯、街道清洁度、警力、失业率、房地产差距以及普遍存在的不安全感在内的各个方面。从白人占主导地位的曼哈顿到黑人和西班牙裔占主导地位的哈莱姆区,凸显了历史性和系统性的不平等,这些不平等继续影响着这座城市的人口和经济格局。这些不平等现象植根于歧视性住房政策、经济差距和社会排斥,表现为健康状况较差、药物使用率较高以及少数群体的经济机会有限。通过有针对性的政策和持续的干预措施来解决这些结构性问题,政策制定者可以努力缩小健康差距,促进种族公平。本文还强调了 "少数群体收益递减"(MDRs)的概念,即与白人相比,少数群体个人的教育和收入收益并不明显,这进一步延续了弱势循环。全面努力消除系统性的不平等对于建设一个更加公平和健康的社会至关重要。

Walking the Divide: A Public Health Journey from Manhattan to Harlem.

This paper examines the striking contrasts and inequalities observation by walking from Manhattan to Harlem in New York City, highlighting the significant social and economic differences that have profound implications for public health and social policy. Through this journey, we explore various aspects including racial segregation, the composition of shops, smoking habits, street cleanliness, police presence, unemployment, real estate disparities, and the pervasive sense of insecurity. The transition from a predominantly White Manhattan to a predominantly Black and Hispanic Harlem underscores the historical and systemic inequalities that continue to shape the city's demographic and economic landscape. These disparities, rooted in discriminatory housing policies, economic disparities, and social exclusion, manifest in poorer health outcomes, higher rates of substance use, and limited economic opportunities for minority populations. By addressing these structural issues through targeted policies and sustained interventions, policymakers may work towards reducing health disparities and promoting racial equity. This paper also highlights the concept of Minorities' Diminished Returns (MDRs), where the benefits of education and income are less pronounced for minority individuals compared to their White counterparts, further perpetuating cycles of disadvantage. Comprehensive efforts to dismantle systemic inequities are essential for fostering a more equitable and healthy society.
