Marginalized Groups: Health Effects

marginalized groups: That's because hostile attitudes toward racial and ethnic minorities, which seem to be more pronounced in the Trump era, have been previously linked to adverse health effects, the authors say, according to CTV. Those health effects can include stress, increased risk of developing various diseases, babies born too early and premature deaths, the authors say. Marginalized groups are most likely to be affected by the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the authors of the article, which will appear in the New England Journal of Medicine. Elections can matter for the health of children and adults in profound ways that are often unrecognized and unaddressed, the lead author of the article, David R. Williams, says in a news release. Williams and his co-author Dr. Williams is a professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a professor of African and African-American studies at Harvard University.
