Toxic Stress and Coping
Medical Mistrust and Confidence
Medical mistrust, vaccine hesitancy and other nonadherent responses to public health recommendations are tied to racist, historical trauma.
▪ Mistrust of the public health and healthcare sectors is longstanding and well-documented, especially among African Americans.
▪ It stems from historical as well as ongoing experiences with unequal treatment and racism within the healthcare system.
▪ The mistrust reflects legitimate concerns about racism, and therefore, should not be conflated with science denialism (e.g., climate denialism, anti-vaccine sentiment).

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
