Dr. David R. Williams, Florence Sprague Norman and Laura Smart Norman Professor of Public Health and chair of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, was recently interviewed by Every Child Thrives in “A wider lens on the impact of COVID-19”.
“The coronavirus did not create racial inequities in health,” says Dr. Williams in the interview. “It has just uncovered and revealed them. These disparities have long existed in the U.S., and persist across leading causes of death, from the cradle to the grave.”
