The Pandemic, Racism, and Health Disparities Among African American Men	2020-08-07		.txt	text/plain	1532	72	47	The coronavirus pandemic has amplified health disparities by race and gender, perhaps most notably among African American men. While some attribute the overall poor health and disparate rates of morbidity and mortality to individual behaviors, that assessment fails to assess the direct damage inflicted by a social and political system that has marginalized and minimized efforts to provide meaningful services even at the primary health-care level. It is important to acknowledge that institutionalized populations are not included in population statistics unless they enter the health-care system for treatment, a subject discussed at length in the recently published manuscript, "Discerning disparities: The data gap" (Treadwell et al., 2019) and in the article "Collecting demographic data is the first step in eliminating racism in healthcare" (Eschner, 2020) . Damage is perpetrated when researchers and individuals who report on morbidity, mortality, and equitable health-care access remain silent about institutionalized populations, such as African American men who are disproportionately represented in America's prisons.	./cache/cord-305026-t4wkv89b.txt	./txt/cord-305026-t4wkv89b.txt
