Race and ethnicity influence health, and so does socioeconomic status (SES). How do sociologists explain the association between race/ethnicity and health? How does SES influence that association (i.e., does high SES always predict greater health and longevity, regardless of race/ethnicity)? In other words, what are the important social structures and social forces that impact health? How does the current data on the rates of death from Covid-19 help to explain how inequality and marginalization impact health and longevity?
