Application of Public Health Critical Race Praxis to Refine Black Girls Move: An Obesity Prevention Intervention for Black Adolescent Daughter/Mother Dyads.
July 26, 2026 · Western journal of nursing research
Key takeaway
This study found that weight gain in Black women and girls is linked to racism, not just money. To create effective programs, we need to consider how racism, bias, and unique challenges impact our health, so we can finally develop solutions that truly work for our community.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in metabolic helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
