Historic Redlining and Contemporary Behavioral Health Workforce Disparities

Abstract

As the nation continues to confront the lasting legacy of Jim Crow-era structural racism, attention is increasingly turning to the association between historical redlining policies and contemporary racial disparities in access to health care, including behavioral health. 2] However, no studies, to our knowledge, have examined variation in the supply of physicians or other behavioral health clinicians across HOLC-redlined neighborhoods.
