An ethnic minority is a group of people who have a distinct cultural, religious, or linguistic identity that differs from the majority population in a given society. These groups may also face discrimination, marginalization, and unequal access to resources and opportunities. Examples of ethnic minorities include African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and various immigrant communities in the United States. In other countries, ethnic minorities may belong to different groups depending on the local demographics and history.
Chúng tôi không biết bạn quan tâm thông tin cụ thể nào liên quan đến dân tộc thiểu số. Bạn có thể cung cấp thông tin chi tiết hơn để chúng tôi có thể cung cấp sự giúp đỡ chính xác hơn không? Nói chung, dân tộc thiểu số thường gặp phải các rủi ro khác biệt và cảm giác bị loại trừ hơn so với dân số đa số trong xã hội. Điều này có thể dẫn đến sự kỳ thị, giới hạn cơ hội và tiếp cận không công bằng đối với nguồn lực và cơ hội.
Dân tộc thiểu số, còn được gọi là dân tộc ít người, thường bao gồm các nhóm người có nguồn gốc và văn hóa đặc biệt, và thường xuyên gặp phải sự kỳ thị, phân biệt đối xử, hoặc thiểu số trong việc tiếp cận nguồn lực và cơ hội. Những vấn đề mà dân tộc thiểu số thường phải đối mặt bao gồm sự mất mát văn hóa, ngôn ngữ và truyền thống, phân biệt đối xử trong việc tìm việc làm và giáo dục, và thách thức trong việc duy trì và phát triển cộng đồng của họ.
Nhiều quốc gia có chính sách và chương trình đặc biệt nhằm bảo vệ và hỗ trợ dân tộc thiểu số, bao gồm việc thúc đẩy quyền lợi văn hóa và chính trị, cũng như cung cấp hỗ trợ kinh tế và giáo dục. Tuy nhiên, vẫn còn nhiều nơi trên thế giới mà dân tộc thiểu số vẫn phải đối mặt với những thách thức lớn đối với việc bảo vệ quyền lợi và phát triển của họ.
The Promise of Racial and Ethnic Protective Factors in Promoting Ethnic Minority Youth Development Child Development Perspectives - Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 295-303 - 2012
AbstractExperiences of racial and ethnic discrimination pose significant threats to the development and well‐being of racial and ethnic minority children. Fortunately, not all youth who experience discrimination are susceptible to its harmful effects. Growing evidence points to several racial and ethnic factors that promote positive youth development and protect against the potentially damaging effects of racial and ethnic adversity. This article summarizes emerging research trends and conclusions regarding the “promotive” and “protective” effects of racial and ethnic identity, ethnic‐racial socialization, and cultural orientation, as well as some of the mechanisms that may account for their salutary properties. The article concludes with a brief discussion of important considerations and directions for the future study of racial and ethnic resilience processes in ethnic minority youth.
High Prevalence of Gestational Diabetes in Women from Ethnic Minority Groups Diabetic Medicine - Tập 9 Số 9 - Trang 820-825 - 1992
The influence of ethnic origin, body mass index, and parity on the frequency of gestational diabetes was assessed in 11205 consecutive women attending a multiracial antenatal clinic in London, where all women were screened for gestational diabetes. Logistic regression was used to model the relationship between gestational diabetes and ethnic origin, age, body mass index (BMI), and parity. Results were presented as adjusted odds ratios, where the reference categories are White women, age < 25 years, BMI < 27, and parity < 3. Ethnic origin was the dominant influence on the prevalence of gestational diabetes. Women from ethnic groups other than White had a higher frequency of gestational diabetes than White women (2.9% vs 0.4%, p < 0.001). Compared to White women the relative risk of gestational diabetes in the other ethnic groups was: Black 3.1 (95% confidence limits 1.8–5.5), South East Asian 7.6 (4.1–14.1), Indian 11.3 (6.8–18.8), and miscellaneous 5.9 (3.5–9.9). Increasing age was an independent risk factor. The relative risk was higher in women ≥ 35 years in all ethnic groups other than in South East Asian women. Obesity (BMI ≥ 27) was a further independent risk factor in all ethnic groups except in the Indian and South East Asian women. Parity ≥ 3 increased the relative risk of gestational diabetes in the White, Black, and South East Asian women only. Age and obesity were factors of particular importance in Black women in whom the risk was 4.1 fold greater in those ≥ 35 years compared with women ≥ 35 years, and 5.0 fold higher if the BMI was ≥ 27 compared with ≥ 27. Ethnic origin has a major influence on the prevalence of gestational diabetes and the importance of other risk factors varies between ethnic groups. These findings have important implications for the screening of women in pregnancy.
Agency and structure: the impact of ethnic identity and racism on the health of ethnic minority people Sociology of Health and Illness - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 1-20 - 2002
Abstract To understand ethnic inequalities in health, we must take account of the relationship between ethnic minority status, structural disadvantage and agency. So far, the direct effects of racial oppression on health, and the role of ethnicity as identity, which is in part a product of agency, have been ignored. We set out to redress this balance using data from the Fourth National Survey of Ethnic Minorities. Factor analysis suggested that dimensions of ethnic identity were consistent across the various ethnic minority groups. Initially some of these dimensions of ethnic identity appeared to be related to health, but in a multivariate model the factor relating to a racialised identity was the only one that exhibited any relationship with health. These findings suggest that ethnic identity is not related to health. Rather, the multivariate analyses presented here showed strong independent relationships between health and experiences of racism, perceived racial discrimination and class.
Ethnic Identity Development: Toward the Development of a Theory Within the Context of Majority/Minority Status Journal of Counseling and Development - Tập 70 Số 1 - Trang 181-188 - 1991
The purpose of this article is twofold: (a) to reconceptualize the issue of racial identity development so that it is not just limited to the issue of oppression and(b) to provide a beginning framework for conceptualizing ethnic identity development that can be used for members of both minority and majority ethnic groups. Propositions leading toward the development of a theory of ethnic group identity development within the context of majority and minority status are presented.Este artículo tiene dos propósitios: (a) reconceptualizar el asunto del desarrollo de identidad racial para que no esté solamente limitado al tema de la opresión, y (b) disponer los principios de un marco para la concepcializción del desarrollo de identidad étnica para que se le pueda usar con los miembros de grupos de minorías y mayorías étnicas. Se presentan proposiciones para el crecimiento de una teoriá del desarrollo de la identidad de un grupo étnico dentro del contexto de estatus de mayoría/minoría.
Culturally appropriate health education for Type 2 diabetes in ethnic minority groups: a systematic and narrative review of randomized controlled trials Diabetic Medicine - Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 613-623 - 2010
Diabet. Med. 27, 613–623 (2010)AbstractTo determine if culturally appropriate health education is more effective than ‘usual’ health education for people with diabetes from ethnic minority groups living in high‐ and upper‐middle‐income countries. A systematic review with meta‐analysis, following the methodology of the Cochrane Collaboration. Electronic literature searches of nine databases were made, with hand searching of three journals and 16 author contacts. The criteria for inclusion into the analysis were randomized controlled trials of a specified diabetes health education intervention, and a named ethnic minority group with Type 2 diabetes. Data were collected on HbA1c, blood pressure, and quality‐of‐life measures. A narrative review was also performed. Few studies fitted the selection criteria, and were heterogeneous in methodologies and outcome measures, making meta‐analysis difficult. HbA1c showed an improvement at 3 months [weighted mean difference (WMD) −0.32%, 95% confidence interval (CI) −0.63, −0.01] and 6 months post intervention (WMD −0.60%, 95% CI −0.85, −0.35). Knowledge scores also improved in the intervention groups at 6 months (standardized mean difference 0.46, 95% CI 0.27, 0.65). There was only one longer‐term follow‐up study, and one formal cost‐effectiveness analysis. Culturally appropriate health education was more effective than ‘usual’ health education in improving HbA1c and knowledge in the short to medium term. Due to poor standardization between studies, the data did not allow determination of the key elements of interventions across countries, ethnic groups and health systems, or a broad view of their cost‐effectiveness. The narrative review identifies learning points to direct future research.
