SUMMARY:Isar P. Godreau Santiago\, PhD and Mariluz Franco-Ortiz\, PhD: Applications of Skin Color Scales to the Study of Racial Inequality
DESCRIPTION:Applications of Skin Color Scales to the Study of Racial Inequality \nKey Takeaways: In this brief presentation we discuss the benefits and challenges of utilizing skin color scales to study racial inequality. We specifically consider the contributions of studies that have applied this methodology to study racial inequalities among Latinxs in the US and in Puerto Rico with a focus on health outcomes.  Definitions of key concepts such as “race” \, “racism” and “colorism” will be provided before considering their health impacts.  Opportunities for addressing methodological challenges and information gaps associated with the use of skin color scales in surveys will also be discussed. \n \nIsar P.
