Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2023

S 1317 establishes a National Center on Antiracism and Health within the CDC to address structural racism as a public health crisis. The Center will research how racism impacts health outcomes for communities of color, collect disaggregated data (by race, ethnicity, gender identity, disability, etc.), develop antiracist interventions, and train public health professionals. It also creates a CDC program to study police violence as a public health issue, requiring research on law enforcement's health impacts and data collection on police brutality. The bill directly affects communities experiencing health disparities due to racism and requires federal agencies to integrate antiracist approaches into public health work.
