Os determinantes sociais de saúde: reflexões e perspectivas diaspóricas amarelas

Abstract

This is a bibliographic review about the Social Determinants of Health. We aim to focus on racial biases in medical practice and research in Evidence-Based Medicine, as well as a historical review of the Asian people in Western countries and the implications on public health and on the health of these individuals. The goal of this study is to create a theoretical basis for a critical-reflective memorial about the effects of racial opression in asian’s processes on disease development, focusing on East Asian immigrants and descendants.
