Adding to health inequality section:
Another outcome associated with redlining is varying cancer outcomes. For example, a study published in JAMA Network found non-redlined areas to have more favorable breast cancer outcomes among non-Latina white women. Beyond cancer outcomes, as discovered in research published by the Journal of American College of Surgeons, redlining is also attributed to lower cancer screening rates, adjusted for social vulnerability and access to care, across all three types of cancer included in the study: breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer. In the study, using national census-data from 2020 on redlining grades and cancer screening rates, it was found that for breast cancer, there were 24% lower odds of being screened in redlined versus non-redlined neighborhoods, 64% lower odds for colorectal cancer, and 79% lower odds in cervical cancer. Researchers attributed this chasm to poverty, lack of education, and limited English proficiency. It is important that strategies to combat screening disparities be structurally competent and location-specific, as Amanda Harper, senior staff writer at Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute writes. For example, if transportation is a barrier, travel vouchers or mobile clinics should be employed. The health inequalities that arise from redlining manifest in many forms, and cancer outcomes and screening are two ways redlined communities present differences when compared to non-redlined communities.
Despite overall life expectancy improving, discrepancies remain between the life expectancies of different racial groups (1). The concentration of disparities in minority neighborhoods, reinforced by redlining, has resulted in worse health outcomes and lower life expectancies in these neighborhoods (1,2). Continued economic isolation and property devaluation resulting from redlining have widened the differences in life expectancy between redlined communities and neighboring highly-rated communities (5). When comparing redlined neighborhoods to highly-graded neighborhoods by the HOLC, life expectancy in redlined communities is on average 3.6 years lower.; Hhowever, there is significant variation in this difference among different cities (1). In Baltimore, red or yellow rated communities had a life expectancy five years shorter than communities rated green or blue (3). In Richmond, Virginia, one predominantly black neighborhood has a life expectancy of 21 years shorter than that of a nearby predominantly white neighborhood, which had been highly rated by the HOLC in the 1930s (4).
Add under “Strategies to reverse effects of redlining” section
Moreover, residents of historically redlined neighborhoods face risks for worse health outcomes and lower life expectancies. Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in efforts to reverse the impact of redlining on adverse health outcomes (1). Metzl and Hansen propose that the U.S. medical education system should train healthcare professionals to recognize the larger structural contexts and social and economic conditions that influence patient health outcomes, including the legacy of redlining (2). Infusing clinical training with structural awareness allows healthcare providers to consider the structural barriers that shape patients’ health and illness. The faculty at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan launched a course called “Healing Between the Lines” to teach medical students and residents about the effects of structural injustices on health, including historical redlining as a “critical driver” of the life expectancy gap of Detroit (3). From a healthcare policy perspective, Egede and other scholars recommend Medicaid expansion, Medicaid coverage mandatorily including Community Health Worker services, value-based health system payments, and federal incentives for expanding hospitals and clinics. Healthcare providers and individuals in the healthcare system are crucial in addressing the long-lasting health consequences of historical redlining (1).

"Most prominent in the United States"
[edit]"Most prominent" [in the United States] is a very unscientific phrase and "has been" suggests the condition has existed for all time. No source is given for this majestically sweeping statement and unless "most prominent" simply means "most talked about," the assertion is impossible to credit. WmDKing (talk) 19:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
