US EditionHistorically Redlined Communities Have Slower EMS Response Times
Residents in historically redlined neighborhoods face nearly three times slower EMS response times, highlighting persistent racial health inequities linked to structural racism, researchers found.
- On Tuesday, residents of historically redlined communities experience slower EMS response times, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open.
- Redlining refers to the Home Owners' Loan Corporation and banks systematically denying mortgages to Black and Hispanic residents, labeling neighborhoods with more non-white residents as risky.
- Mapping reveals that more than 2.2 million people lack rapid EMS access, with residents in historically D-graded neighborhoods facing nearly three times higher odds of delay than those in A-graded areas.
- Such disparities, EMS professionals warn, delay in emergency care breaches the `golden hour` and increases mortality rates, highlighting health impacts of structural racism.
- Despite the ban, researchers note redlined neighborhoods still face health disparities and fewer EMS stations in urban communities of color, calling for better response tracking.
