Research offers the potential for new treatments, programs and services, and underlies decisions about funding that can have profound implications for people’s lives. When racism in research is not addressed, children and their families will be unjustly impacted by systemic discrimination, exclusion, and inequity. With a growing acknowledgement that racism is a social determinant of health, and as COVID-19 reveals staggering racial disparities, we believe now is the time for intentional anti-racism initiatives throughout the research ecosystem to prevent further harms in patient care and the lives and futures of children. We aim to highlight this need for justice, and conclude with a series of practical recommendations, ranging from the collection and use of race-based data, to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) education, to mentorship opportunities.

采取行动的时机：反种族主义儿科研究

研究为新的治疗、项目和服务提供了潜力，并为可能对人们的生活产生深远影响的资金决策奠定了基础。如果不解决研究中的种族主义问题，儿童及其家庭将受到系统性歧视、排斥和不平等的不公正影响。随着越来越多的人认识到种族主义是健康的社会决定因素，并且随着 COVID-19 揭示了惊人的种族差异，我们认为现在是在整个研究生态系统中采取有意识的反种族主义举措的时候了，以防止对患者护理和生命和生命的进一步伤害儿童的未来。我们旨在强调对正义的需求，并以一系列实用的建议作为结尾，从收集和使用基于种族的数据到公平、多样性和包容性 (EDI) 教育，
