As another example, hypertension is more prevalent among Black adults than White adults (Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC), 2023c; Huang et al., 2022). A downstream intervention for a client with hypertensionmay involve prescribing lisinopril (a medication used to treat high blood pressure) and quarterly clinic visits tomonitor blood pressure. However, these sample interventions include nothing about a person’s race placing them athigher risk of hypertension. In fact, considering a client’srace, which is a social construct, in place ofbiology andgenetics, is an unfavorable practice that contributes to disparities and harm (American Academy of FamilyPhysicians, 2020). An upstream intervention related to hypertension might address institutional racism that leads tostress among people of color and fewer social, health, and economic opportunities across communities of color.
