520 "According to a recent report from the World Health
Organization (WHO) Commission on the Social Determinants
of Health, "a girl born in Sweden will live 43 years
longer than a girl born in Sierra Leone." The report goes
on to observe that "in Glasgow, an unskilled, working-
class person will have a lifespan 28 years shorter than a
businessman in the top income bracket in Scotland" (see
Footnote 1, p. 5). Commenting on these sobering statistics
of health disparities around the world in an invited
address, Vicente Navarro (2009) of Johns Hopkins
University noted that: the mortality differentials among
countries are enormous. But such inequalities also appear
within each country, including the so-called rich or
developed countries. ... We could add here similar data
from the United States. In East Baltimore (where my
university, the Johns Hopkins University, is located), a
black unemployed youth has a lifespan 32 years shorter
than a white corporate lawyer. Actually, as I have
documented elsewhere, a young African American is 1.8
times more likely than a young White American to die from
a cardiovascular condition. Race mortality differentials
are large in the US. ... In the same study, I showed that
a blue-collar worker is 2.8 times more likely than a
businessman to die from a cardiovascular condition. (p. 5)
The challenges of health disparities for racial and ethnic
minorities in this country have been publicized in the
scientific community by reports such as Unequal Treatment
and articles like Navarro's (2009) address. However, much
less attention and research have been focused on
occupational health disparities (OHDs) among racial and
ethnic minority groups. Despite an increasing number of
immigrant and nonimmigrant racial and ethnic minorities in
the United States, little is known about OHDs among these
populations. Worker groups in the United States have
differential exposure to workplace hazards, and in many
cases, these hazards are disproportionately experienced by
racial and ethnic minorities. As a result, any research
and policy efforts to address health disparities among
racial and ethnic minorities will also need to address the
differential impacts of working conditions on their
health. These OHDs are exacerbated by barriers resulting
from language issues, socioeconomic factors, and cultural
beliefs and attitudes. Therefore, a multicultural
perspective on OHDs is needed to understand the unique
barriers and stressors that they encounter in the
workplace. This volume will provide a state-of-the-art
review of the literature as well as a road map to guide
future research to address the challenges in OHDs among
racial and ethnic minorities"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database
