In 1993, when the article “Racism, Sexism and Social Class: Implications for Studies
of Health, Disease and Well-Being” by Krieger et al.
1
was originally published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM), I was working on my PhD at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene
and Public Health and making the case to often incredulous audiences that it was meaningful
to examine the contextual impacts of neighborhood disadvantage on health even if individual-level
socioeconomic data were available. As was the case with other articles by Krieger
on the themes of health inequities and social causation, I could not wait to read
it. I would spend hours photocopying articles in the Welch Library, and I am sure
I have a copy of this article buried somewhere in my old files (yes, I still have
some of them!). Back then, I would highlight in yellow marker what I viewed as the
most significant statements. This would have been hard to do in an article so thoughtful
and erudite and absolutely packed with observations and ideas.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
