The Effect of Racism and Discrimination on the Health of Milwaukee's African American Population.

Background: This scoping review focuses on the intersections of racism, health, and health care, as well as interventions for the African American population in Milwaukee, Wisconsin-one of the most hypersegregated regions in the country. We investigate what existing research provides about the impact of segregation and racism on health and consider how community setting informs health interventions, practice, and policy.

Methods: We analyzed studies that address racism and health in Milwaukee to assess the state of the science in this area.
