LWV Wake's April Timely Topic (on Zoom) is about the Intersection of Race, Stress, and Health. Many health conditions impact African Americans and Hispanic/Latinx populations more than their White counterparts. Why is it that some racial and ethnic groups suffer higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, and mortality from certain cancers? Why are Black babies and moms more likely to die during or before childbirth than their White counterparts? There are many reasons, some known and some unknown.  

Join for an exploration of these issues, including the role that stress plays in the health status and health outcomes of African Americans and other people of color.
