Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

92.0K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact

267
Drug control governance involves the oversight and regulation of pharmaceuticals to ensure their safety and efficacy while preventing illegal drug use and trafficking. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

742
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Summary

Harm reduction infrastructure in Maryland has unmet obligations, failing to equitably protect Black and Latinx people who use drugs (PWUD). Systemic racism and social exclusion create barriers, escalating the overdose crisis despite progressive policies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Harm reduction policies are crucial for drug user health.
  • Legacies of racism, trauma, and social exclusion impact health outcomes.
  • Equitable access to harm reduction services remains a challenge for marginalized communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for understanding structural barriers in harm reduction.
  • To examine unmet obligations in Maryland's harm reduction infrastructure.
  • To assess equitable protections for Black and Latinx people who use drugs (PWUD).

Main Methods:

  • Rapid ethnographic assessment and qualitative interviews.
  • Engaged with 72 people who use drugs (PWUD) and 85 stakeholders in 5 Maryland counties.
  • Assessed experiences, service gaps, barriers, facilitators, and program expansion potential.

Main Results:

  • Identified punitive governance of drug use equipment and racialized criminalization.
  • Highlighted racism, social exclusion, and trauma legacies impacting PWUD.
  • Found differential implications of harm reduction for racialized populations.

Conclusions:

  • Harm reduction policy implementation is insufficient without addressing structural dynamics.
  • Diverse communities require tailored approaches considering unique histories.
  • Racialized exclusions entrench disparities, escalating the overdose crisis despite progressive policies.
