APTR: Anti-Racism Toolkit

2024

This toolkit from the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research provides diverse resources on systemic racism in the U.S. The included resources highlight evidence and interventions for addressing racism in health professions education, as well as resources that unpack racism’s impact on health and well-being. The toolkit resources about health professions education cover approaches for teaching cultural competence; addressing privilege; and supporting diverse student success and positive institutional climates. Users can also find evidence on the impact of racism on health—including information on health inequities, effects of discrimination, and structural racism―that are suitable for anchoring graduate-level syllabi, lesson plans, activities, and assignments.

The resources within the toolkit include academic articles, books, videos and documentaries, news stories, blog posts, and teaching material―such as teaching cases, glossaries, lessons, and study guides. The vast majority of the resources provided are open-access and freely available to users. This toolkit may be most useful to graduate-level educators, from public health and other health professions, seeking to incorporate anti-racist approaches to pedagogy in their courses or looking to teach about racism’s causes and effects.
