“…Barriers include competing time demands influenced by the effects of structural racism on working conditions, family caretaking responsibilities, and limited financial resources. In addition, many of the reviewed studies identified mistrust as a barrier stemming from racist research abuses in the past, and this effect was also highlighted recently ( Payne-Sturges et al. 2021 ).…”

“…Of particular importance, researchers can address the mistrust and concerns of participants who identify as Black by responding to the inequitable chemical exposures discovered in their studies. A recent commentary in this journal calls on researchers to investigate the role of racism in exposure inequalities ( Payne-Sturges et al. 2021 ).…”

“…However, there is a growing call within research and practice to recognize that race is a social construct and that the continued use of this construct obfuscates the role of racism in determining health [60]. A serious examination of racism as an explanation for racial disparities is particularly relevant for climate-sensitive health outcomes because of the interactions between policies and social, natural, and built environmental systems that result in unequal environmental burdens for diverse populations [61].…”

“…In addition to replication being a critical component of causal inference in epidemiology, policy makers rely on results from their own state or municipality to inform local policies. Additionally, we need more studies of the potential disproportionate environmental health impacts on different populations with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic vulnerability, and urbanity/rurality, because certain subgroups may experience more pronounced responses due to greater cumulative burdens of multiple socioenvironmental stressors (Kroepsch et al 2019;Payne-Sturges et al 2021). The need for additional environmental justice-focused analyses is supported by findings from Willis et al and by a study of birth outcomes and flaring from oil and gas wells in the Eagle Ford Shale of Texas that reported that adverse effects appeared to be disproportionately borne by Hispanic women (Cushing et al 2020).…”
