【世界说】美国青少年死亡率种族差异明显扩大 专家：系统性种族主义是造成这一悲剧的根源

China Daily  

中国日报网5月8日电 综合美国媒体报道，一项新的研究发现，2014年至2020年间，美国非裔青少年死亡率飙升了37%，原住民青少年死亡率上升22%。相比之下，白人青少年的死亡率增幅不到5%。 美国《纽约时报》网站4日报道称，尽管医学水平和医疗保健的进步与改善使得美国儿童死亡率几十年来保持下降，但研究人员在2023年时发现了一个令人忧心的转变：儿童死亡率正在上升。现在，研究人员的分析又深入了一步。 《纽约时报》网站报道截图 《美国医学协会杂志》（The Journal of the American Medical Association）5月4日刊发的由美国弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）与其附属儿童医院（Children’s Hospital of Richmond）的研究人员进行的新研究显示，美国不同种族和族裔的儿童死亡率差距越来越大。1岁至19岁的非裔和原住民的死亡率明显高于白人，死亡原因主要包括车祸、他杀、自杀等伤害。 他们此前的研究已经发现，2019年至2021年期间，美国儿童和青少年的死亡率上升了18.3%，为至少半个世纪以来的最大增幅。他杀、吸毒过量、自杀、机动车事故等与伤害有关的死亡人数急剧增加，使得所有公共卫生方面所取得的进步都黯然失色。 为了深入研究这一令人不安的趋势，研究人员此次从美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的公共WONDER数据库获得了死亡证明数据，并按照种族、族裔和死因对1岁至19岁的年轻人群进行了分类。 数据显示，虽然美国儿童死亡率在2020年左右才总体出现恶化，但非裔、原住民及拉丁裔儿童的死亡率却是在2014年左右便已经开始增加。参与此次研究的弗吉尼亚联邦大学医学院家庭医学教授史蒂文·伍尔夫（Steven Woolf）表示：“我们预料到会发现差异，但没想到会这么大。我们都非常震惊。” 伍尔夫还补充说：“我们之前对儿童死亡率的研究揭示了一个极大的不幸，也就是与伤害有关的死亡正在逆转我们在儿科护理方面取得的进展。这项新的研究则揭示了另一则悲剧，即与伤害有关的死亡同样逆转了我们在消除死亡率种族差异方面所取得的进步。” 美国弗吉尼亚联邦大学网站文章截图 弗吉尼亚联邦大学网站刊发的文章也指出，种族差异上的变化主要是由伤害相关死亡的差异所驱动的。2016年至2020年，每十万名美国非裔青少年中有近13人死于他杀，比白人青少年高出十倍以上。 当研究报告主要作者、弗吉尼亚联邦大学医学院儿科学副教授伊丽莎白·沃尔夫（Elizabeth Wolf）将意外事故与伤害进行比较时，精神健康危机的严峻现实也成为了关注的焦点。在同一时期，每十万原住民青少年中有11人死于自杀，比白人青少年的自杀率高出两倍多。“作为儿科医生，这样的现实让我十分震惊。”她说。 数据还显示，许多记录在案的有他杀和自杀造成的死亡均涉及枪支。2016年至2020年，每十万名非裔青少年中约有13人死于枪击，每十万原住民青少年中约有7人死于枪击，分别是白人青少年的四倍和两倍。此外，随着时间的推移，前面两个群体的枪支死亡都变得越来越频繁。2013年至2020年，非裔青少年死于枪支暴力的风险上升了108%，这一数字在原住民青少年中高达124%。 研究人员强调，导致儿童死亡种族差异扩大的种种因素最终反映的是美国系统性种族主义的遗留问题。“归根结底，美国系统性种族主义的历史是导致这场悲剧的根源，它造成了儿童成长的社会、经济和环境条件的差距。”伍尔夫说，“解决这些系统性因素对于减轻有色人种儿童遭受伤害和疾病的高风险至关重要。” 加州大学尔湾分校（University of California, Irvine）儿科主任、奥兰治县儿童医院（Children’s Hospital of Orange County）儿科医生科琳·坎宁安（Coleen Cunningham）表示，对于这些差异的详细分析记录了“一场令人悲伤且日益严重的美国悲剧”。“如果我们把它放在首位（应对）”她说，“几乎所有这些都是可以预防的。” （编译：高琳琳 编辑：马芮 韩鹤） 【责任编辑：高琳琳】
