A number of studies in both South Africa and the United States of America have indicated the presence of an 'informal' segregation that is active in everyday life spaces and which is resistant to changes in macro level social policy. This research has however been conducted in societies where segregation and division has been based on skin colour. We sought to adapt a micro-ecological technique for use in a non-racially segregated setting, in this case lecture theatres at a University in Northern Ireland. Using seat numbers to examine seating patterns we found that levels of segregation persisted throughout a semester. The success of this methodology in capturing this information has far-reaching implications for the future study of the micro-ecology of contact.

Is patients' trust in clinicians related to patient-clinician racial/ethnic or gender concordance?
Patient Educ Couns
July 2023
Urban Institute, Washington, DC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how patient-clinician concordance (in race/ethnicity and gender) affects patients' trust in their healthcare providers.
- Results show that nearly 60% of adults with a regular clinician trust their provider, with those having the same racial/ethnic background showing a higher trust level (62.4% vs 54.9%).
- The study emphasizes the need for more Black and Latino clinicians and highlights that trust can still be built by all clinicians across diverse backgrounds, despite mixed results on gender concordance.
Is all prejudice created equal? The role of modern and aversive racism in mock juror decisions.

Global Analytics at Under Armour, Baltimore, MD, USA.
The current study examined whether aversive and modern racists would convict Black defendants differently based on theoretical differences: aversive racists are egalitarian and discriminate when not reminded of their values, whereas modern racists do not espouse egalitarian values and discriminate when a non-racial reason exists to justify their behavior. Participants read a criminal trial where defendant race (Black vs. White), race salience (present vs.

Introduction: Pre-pandemic health behavior has been put forward as a reason for excess COVID-19 infection and death in some racialized groups. At the same time, scholars have labeled racism the other pandemic and argued for its role in the adverse COVID-19 outcomes observed. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of discrimination on health behavior change among racialized adults in the early stages of the pandemic.

Twenty-nine White community members and undergraduate students participated in focus group discussions on race. Results indicated that participants expressed ambivalent racial consciousness when they talked about: what it means to be White, their non-racial identities, oppression, attributions for racial inequality, and interracial interactions.

b School of Social Work and Health Science , Jackson State University, Jackson , MS , USA.
Objectives: Examine the effect of perceived discrimination (both racial and non-racial) on the mental health of older African Americans and explore the buffering role of psychological well-being (purpose in life and self-acceptance).
Methods: Using an older African American subsample from the National Health Measurement Study (n = 397), multiple regression model by gender was used to estimate the effects of two types of discrimination (every day and lifetime) on SF-36 mental component and mediating role of two concepts of psychological well-being.
Results: With no gender difference on the everyday discrimination, older men experienced more lifetime discrimination than older women.
