摘要：

An increasing amount of attention is being given to the inappropriate use of contributions from the biological sciences in research on race/ethnic disparities in health. This discussion will take a first step towards productive interdisciplinary collaboration with the biological sciences by recognizing the methodological and ethical problems underlying current research on race/ethnic disparities. An alternative model is then presented that specifies the role of biology in contributing to race/ethnic disparities in health and mortality without reinforcing a biological conceptualization of race.
