For much of the 20th century, Black readers turned to Black newspapers for health information and advice. The messages reached hundreds of thousands across the United States during a period when the nation's racially separate and unequal health care system limited the ability of Black communities to access vital resources, including public health education. This article, based on an analysis of several hundred health columns published between the 1910s and 1970, traces the origins and evolving role Black newspapers played as trusted messengers of health information. In doing so, it details the strategic ways Black health professionals as well as readers leveraged this form of media to promote health knowledge, address the prevention needs in Black communities, and advocate for better care.

值得信赖的信使：20 世纪美国黑人报纸的公共卫生教育和宣传。


在 20 世纪的大部分时间里，黑人读者转向黑人报纸寻求健康信息和建议。这些信息到达了美国各地的数十万人，当时美国种族隔离和不平等的医疗保健系统限制了黑人社区获得重要资源（包括公共卫生教育）的能力。本文基于对 1910 年代至 1970 年间出版的数百篇健康专栏的分析，追溯了黑人报纸作为值得信赖的健康信息信使的起源和不断发展的作用。在此过程中，它详细介绍了黑人卫生专业人员和读者利用这种形式的媒体来推广健康知识、满足黑人社区的预防需求并倡导更好的护理的战略方式。（美国公共卫生杂志。2024 年 11 月 21 日提前在线发布：e1-e7。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307897）。
