Research has demonstrated communities that experience xenophobia—prejudice against those who are, or are perceived to be, foreign or outsiders—can have lasting harmful health and well-being effects. Xenophobia-driven discrimination in the United States has been seen immigrant communities from the Middle East; Africa; Central America, Caribbean Islands, and Asia, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this program is to gain understanding and explore methods pharmacists and educators can use to advocate for change.
