Background: Structural racism is a powerful determinant of health that drives health disparities, morbidity, and mortality across racialized and minoritized groups.
Purpose: This article discusses approaches for measuring structural racism and its resultant network of negative biopsychosocial consequences for health and well-being.
Methods: We draw on prevailing theoretical models and approaches to characterize both the nature of structural racism and integrated methods for assessing its consequences across mental and physical health.
Discussion: This article will serve to guide researchers in health-related disciplines to accurately assess the biopsychosocial consequences of structural racism in key populations.
